Club career

Early career

Born in Dakar, Senegal, Seck moved to Barcelona in Spain when he was five years old. [1] He began playing football with his local football club before being picked up by Barcelona in 2005, and spent eight years in the club's Cantera. [1] In 2013, Seck sought a new challenge and elected to follow in the footsteps of compatriot and former Barcelona teammate Keita Baldé and sign for Serie A side Lazio. [2] [3] [1] At Lazio, Seck played for three seasons between the club's academy and reserve sides and won three titles before being released in 2016 following contractual disagreements with management. [1] [4]

Roma

Following the expiration of his contract with Lazio, Seck signed as a free-agent for local rivals Roma. [3] On 9 December 2016, manager Luciano Spalletti handed him his debut in a 0–0 Europa League draw with Astra. [1]

Loans to Carpi and Empoli

On the deadline day of the January 2017 transfer window, Seck agreed to join Serie B side Carpi on loan for the remainder of the season. [1] He described the move as being the "right preparation" for him to achieve his goal of representing Senegal at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. [1] He made his debut for the club on 5 February, coming on as a second-half substitute for Slovenian international Enej Jelenič in a 2–1 loss to Cesena. [5] Seck ultimately made three appearances on loan at Carpi before returning to Roma at the end of the season. [6]

In July the following year, Seck signed for recently-relegated Serie B side Empoli on a season-long loan. [7] He made his debut in a 2–2 Coppa Italia penalty shootout loss to Renate. [8]

Loan to Almere City
