Club career

He began his career at Verona on 3 June 2002, before heading to Serie B outfit Cesena in 2005. After a successful spell where he was the highest-scoring non-Italian in the 2006–07 season he was signed by Genoa on 7 September 2007 for an undisclosed fee.

On 19 January 2008 he joined Fiorentina in a swap deal for Belgian defender Anthony Vanden Borre, with the two clubs co-owning both players' rights.[1] Papa Waigo's 50% registration right was valued €2.1 million.[2]

He made his Serie A debut on 26 August 2007, Genoa 0–3 lost to Milan. He began his Fiorentina career in impressive style, with two goals in his first three games, including one in the 3–2 away victory against giants Juventus on 2 March.

Loan spells

In 27 January 2009, Waigo signed for Serie B side Lecce on loan until the end of the season. While on loan he played six games but failed to score for the club.

On 2 September 2009, Waigo signed a season long loan with Football League One side, Southampton. The season long loan carried with it an option for Southampton to purchase the player[3] which was not taken up. He made his debut on the 13 September 2009 in a 1–1 draw at Charlton Athletic, replacing Adam Lallana in the 90th minute.[4]

He scored his first goal for the club on 3 October 2009 in a 4–1 home win over Gillingham.[5] He celebrated with his trademark 'Waigo Dance', involving him stepping ungainly thrice, before twice tapping his neck. He followed this up by scoring twice against Torquay United, as the Saints came from 2–0 down at half time to draw 2–2 and then win on penalties (with Waigo converting his) in the Football League Trophy.[6] Waigo also scored twice in the Area Semi-Final against Norwich City, which took the game to penalties.[7] Waigo also took a penalty which he scored. He also scored in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final which took place at Wembley Stadium. He was able to lift up the trophy as Southampton won it 4–1. He finished that competition top goalscorer with five goals.

On 4 January 2011, moved on loan to Grosseto.[8]

Ascoli Calcio

On his return from the latest loan spell, on 10 August 2011, he was sold to Serie B side Ascoli Calcio.[9]

International career

He plays international football for West African nation Senegal and was part of the Senegalese squad for the 2008 African Cup of Nations in Ghana. He played four matches (out of possible six) at 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification.
