Player Info
Mbwana Ally Samatta is a trailblazing Tanzanian striker currently with French club Havre Athletic Club. Born on December 23, 1992, Samatta made history as the first Tanzanian to play in the English Premier League with Aston Villa and to score in the UEFA Champions League during his time with Genk. The 33-year-old forward, standing at 180 cm, is a composed finisher with excellent movement. He led Genk to a Belgian league title and was the league's top scorer, earning a move to Villa. After spells in Turkey and back in Belgium, his move to Ligue 1 with Le Havre marks another significant chapter. Valued at €800,000, Samatta's experience at the highest levels in Europe brings a cutting edge to his team's attack. He remains the captain and iconic figure of the Tanzanian national team.
