Kevin Gameiro was born on May 9, 1987 in the city of Senlis. He is a French footballer who plays as a striker. Today, he defends the colors of the Spanish “Seville” and his national team.
early years
Kevin Gameiro, like almost any other football player, began to engage in this sport from childhood. His first team was called Marly la Ville. It was there that he learned the basics of football. And at 13, he joined the Chantilly team. Once he was noticed by a scout from Strasbourg. In 2004, the Frenchman moved to this club. Moreover, he established himself well, training with the new team. It is not surprising that the debut for the main team took place soon. To be more precise, it happened in 2005, September 10th. Then the young striker decided to release a replacement. The rival of “Strasbourg” in that match was “Paris Saint-Germain”. True, the team from the same city lost. And his first goal, Kevin Gameiro scored in 2006, February 4. Then he deftly sent the ball into the net of “Lance”. Although at that time, “Strasbourg” lost. The score of that match was 1: 2.
And that season, Kevin Gameiro was noted in the UEFA Cup. He spent three games in the tournament and scored two goals. Moreover, it was a “double” at the gate of “Red Star”. Thanks to his two goals, “Strasbourg” did not lose, but ended the match with a draw (2: 2).
Further career
“Strasbourg” showed not the best results. And at the end of the 2005/06 season, he simply flew to League 2. Kevin Gameiro, in turn, did not leave the team. He played many matches in League 2 (16) and scored three goals. The team returned to the top division. However, the 2007/08 season at the club again failed. And he again fell into the lower division. But the young striker went to the “Lorient”.
It was a team of a different level. The club spent the 2009/10 season as successfully as possible, taking up the seventh line of the rating. And Kevin became the second best scorer of the championship. Indeed, over the season he managed to score 17 goals! He is only one ball behind Mamad Nyang.
In “Lorient” the striker played three seasons. And then he moved to the capital “Paris Saint-Germain”. The leadership of the Parisian club paid 10 million euros for the scorer. The contract was concluded for four years. But Kevin spent in the club only two seasons and quite successful, because for all the time he played 59 matches and scored 23 goals. Moreover, it was precisely at the time when he defended the colors of PSG that he managed to arrange his second hat-trick for his career.
In 2013, on July 25, Gameiro Kevin joined Sevilla. The striker signed a contract for five years. Now he has 92 matches and 39 goals. And this is far from the limit.
Team and Achievements
As you could understand, such a football player as Gameiro Kevin has a rather interesting biography. Like his career. And what can you tell about his performances in the national team? In this regard, the striker is not particularly distinguished. He played in different age groups - up to 18, 20 and 21 years old, and also spent 8 matches in the main team. Even went on the field during the game, held as part of the qualifying round for Euro 2012. Then France, by the way, played with Belarus.
And he still has few team achievements. With PSG, he became the champion of France in 2013, and with Sevilla he won the Europa League three times in a row. It remains to observe further the career of a football player and expect new successes that will definitely be.
