Alfred Benjamin Gomis (born 5 September 1993) is a Senegalese-Italian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Cesena on loan from Torino.

Early life

Born in Ziguinchor, Senegal, he has two brothers who are also footballers: Lys and Maurice who both play for Torino.[1] By possessing dual nationality, unlike Lys, who chose to play for Senegal, Alfred preferred the Azzurri.[2]

Club career

Early career

Nurtured in the Torino youth system, on 3 July, 2013, he officially made his move on loan to the Calabrian club of Crotone in Serie B.[3] On 14 September, he made his debut against Spezia, which ended 1–0 for the red and blues. Despite his young age and lack of experience, Alfred played as a starter. During the season he collected 39 appearances, plus one in the playoffs as well as an appearance in Coppa Italia.[4][5] After a good season played with the pitagorici, the following season Torino decided to loan him again, but only after he was made available for the preliminaries of the Europa League played against the Swedes of Brommapojkarna, as second choice goalkeeper, behind Daniele Padelli, for the first leg played 31 July 2014 in Stockholm.

Avellino (loan)

On 11 August 2014, Alfred was officially loaned to Avellino in Serie B with a buyout clause, plus a buyback clause in favour of Torino. He made his official debut with the team on 17 August 2014, during the second round of Coppa Italia, which saw him maintain a clean sheet, the match ending 2–0 for Avellino. His league debut took place 30 August, during the first day of the championship against Pro Vercelli, finishing 1–0 in favour of Vercelli. On 28 October 2014, he parried a penalty kicked by Rodrigo Taddei in the final minutes of a match against Perugia, ending 0–0. He played 31 matches in the league and finished first in the Top 15 of the goalkeepers in Serie B according to a list compiled by the Lega Serie B.[6]

Cesena (loan)

On 30 July 2015 he was loaned to newly relegated Serie B club Cesena with a buyout clause and a buy-back clause in favour of Torino.[7][8]

International career

Gomis was called up to Italy under-20 in 2013 by Luigi Di Biagio, but did not make any appearances.[9] In the same year, he was also called up to the Italy under-21 Serie B representative team.[10] He was summoned by Piscedda for another game against the Italy under-21 played at the Partenio in Avellino. A starter on this occasion, he remained on the field for 68 minutes without conceding a goal.[11]
