Leocísio Júlio Sami (born 18 December 1988) is a Bissau-Guinean professional footballer who plays as a forward for Portuguese club C.D. Cova da Piedade.

Club career

Born in Bissau, Sami played the vast majority of his professional career in Portugal, finishing his development at S.L. Benfica.[1] In his first two years as a senior he alternated between the Segunda Liga and the third division, representing Eléctrico F.C. and C.D. Aves.[2][3]

Sami signed with C.S. Marítimo in the 2009 summer, appearing for both the first and second teams during his four-year spell in the island of Madeira. Late into the 2010 January transfer window he was loaned to second level side C.D. Fátima, which eventually avoided relegation;[4] on 18 August 2013, his only Primeira Liga goal of the season helped his parent club defeat Benfica 2–1.[5]

On 29 May 2014, free agent Sami joined FC Porto on a four-year contract.[6] He never appeared for them in competitive matches, however, being consecutively loaned to S.C. Braga,[7] Vitória S.C.[8] and Turkish Süper Lig's Akhisar Belediyespor.[9] His tenure at the Estádio Municipal de Braga was curtailed in January 2015, due to a run-in with manager Sérgio Conceição.[10][11]

In February 2017, still owned by Porto, Sami moved to F.C. Arouca in the Portuguese top flight.[12] On 3 July, he returned to Aves on a two-year contract.[13]

International career

Sami was selected for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations by manager Baciro Candé.[14] During the tournament in Gabon, which ended in group stage exit, he featured 24 minutes in the 1–2 loss to Cameroon.[15]
