Club career

Early career

Born in Paris, Nteka left his hometown and joined Spanish side Betis San Isidro on a trial period in 2016, after having been called by an agent proposing a move to Madrid and trials with bigger clubs. [2] [3] He made his debut for the club during the 2016–17 season, scoring three goals in 13 appearances. While at Betis San Isidro, Nteka was left without a paycheck. Eventually, the club offered him 300 euros a month, and to justify the expense, had him take care of the training ground and clean the dressing room. [4]

Fuenlabrada

In November 2017, Nteka joined Fuenlabrada and was initially assigned to the reserves in the regional leagues. [5] However, he never played for the B-team, being immediately included in Antonio Calderón's main squad and making his first-team debut on 7 January 2018, starting and scoring the opener in a 2–1 away defeat of Deportivo Fabril in the Segunda División B. [6]

Nteka renewed with Fuenla on 22 June 2018, after agreeing to a three-year deal. [7] He was a regular starter during the campaign, contributing with eight goals as his side achieved promotion to Segunda División for the first time ever.[ citation needed ]

Nteka made his professional debut on 17 August 2019, starting in a 2–0 away defeat of Elche CF. [8] He scored his first professional goal on 13 October, netting his team's only in a 2–1 away loss against Mirandés.[ citation needed ]

Nteka scored eight goals for Fuenla during the 2020–21 campaign, being the club's top goalscorer as they achieved a mid-table finish.[ citation needed ]

Rayo Vallecano

On 28 July 2021, Nteka signed a five-year contract with Rayo Vallecano, newly promoted to La Liga, along with teammate Pathé Ciss. [9] He made his top tier debut on 15 August, starting in a 3–0 loss at Sevilla.

On 29 August 2021, Nteka scored his first goal for Rayo against Granada in a 4–0 home victory. [10]

Loan to Elche

On 1 February 2023, Rayo announced the loan of Nteka to fellow top tier side Elche until the end of the season. [11]

International career

Born in France, Nteka is of Angolan and DR Congolese descent. [12] He made his debut for the Angola national team on 7 June 2024 in a World Cup qualifier against Eswatini at the Estádio 11 de Novembro. He played the full game as Angola won 1–0. [13]
