On 31 January 2017, Djenepo joined Standard Liège on loan, with an option to buy.[4] The club activated his buyout clause on 30 May 2017, hence making the transfer move permanent.[5] He made his professional debut with Standard Liège in a 4–0 loss in the Belgian First Division A to Club Brugge on 27 August 2017.[6] Djenepo netted his first goal on 11 March 2018, in a 3–2 away victory against Oostende at Versluys Arena.[7][8]

On 17 March 2018, Djenepo played when he came on as a substitute for Mehdi Carcela, as Standard Liège beat Genk 1–0 after extra time to win the 2018 Belgian Cup Final and qualify for the UEFA Europa League.[9][10]

Southampton

On 13 June 2019, Djenepo signed a four-year contract with Premier League club Southampton[11][12] for a reported fee of £14 million.[13] He scored his first goal for the Saints on 24 August 2019, in a 2–0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion.[14]

International career

Djenepo is a youth international for the Mali under-20 team, appearing in the 2017 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.[15][16][17]

Djenepo received his first call-up to the senior team on 3 October 2017.[18] He made his debut on 6 October, in a goalless 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification match with Ivory Coast.[19] On 23 March 2019, Djenepo scored against South Sudan in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualification home fixture, which ended in a 3–0 victory.[20]
