Who is this?

El Hadji Papy Mison Djilobodji (born 1 December 1988) is a Senegalese professional footballer who plays for Turkish TFF 1. Lig club Sarıyer and the Senegal national team. He is capable of playing at centre back and defensive midfield. After beginning his career in his homeland with ASC Saloum, he moved to France in 2009 to play for amateur team Sénart-Moissy, where his performances quickly earned him a transfer to Nantes. He played regularly over five and a half seasons for them, the final two in Ligue 1. In 2015, he signed for Chelsea, making a sole substitute appearance in the League Cup and being loaned to Bundesliga team Werder Bremen before signing for Sunderland for £8 million at the end of the season. After Sunderland were relegated in his first season there, he was loaned to Dijon in 2017, and sacked in September 2018 for breach of contract for returning to the club over a month late and in an unfit condition. He then signed for Guingamp in 2019. Djilobodji made his international debut for Senegal in 2013. He was part of their squad at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.
