Gaël N'Lundulu (born 29 April 1992) is a French professional footballer of Congolese descent who plays a left winger for Apollon Paralimnio.
Career
N'Lundulu first began his footballing career in his hometown with Paris Saint-Germain. By age 16 however, he was ready to move on and sign professional terms with a team away from Paris as PSG were only willing to offer a trainee contract.[1]
After much speculation, he signed with Portsmouth in summer 2008 and spent the next two seasons playing primarily for the reserve team, though he did make the bench in a fourth round League Cup match against Stoke City on 27 October 2009.[2] Due to the immense financial difficulties of the English club, N'Lundulu's contract ended in summer 2010.
He moved on to Nantes where he went on trial, featuring in several friendlies at the beginning of the season but he was not able to earn himself a contract. Eventually he joined Swiss-side Lausanne-Sport in February 2011.[3] At the end of the 2011–12 season he was released from the club.
Aris
On 22 August 2014, he signed for Greek club Aris. He did not make any appearances during the first part of the season, but in the second part of the season he was one of Aris's most important players, scoring 5 goals in 11 games. He became a fan favorite due to him scoring wonderful goals. He re-signed with Aris on 5 November. N'Lundulu scored an amazing goal from outside the box in a 3–1 win over Apollon Kalamaria.
Apollon Pontou
On 30 August 2016 he joined Apollon Pontou. He scored 11 goals, helping his team gain promotion to the Football League.
Apollon Paralimnio
On 8 August 2019, N'Lundulu joined Apollon Paralimnio.[4]
