Henri Grégoire Saivet (born 26 October 1990) is a Senegalese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for French Ligue 2 club Pau and the Senegal national team. He is a former France youth international.

Saivet began his career with Bordeaux, making his debut aged 17, and spending nine years at the club before being signed by English club Newcastle United. He made few appearances for Newcastle and was loaned out to Saint-Étienne, and Turkish clubs Sivasspor and Bursaspor before leaving in 2021. After a year without a club, he signed for Pau.

Club career

Bordeaux

In 2007, Saivet signed his first professional contract with Bordeaux, thus making him the youngest professional player in the history of the club.[3] He subsequently made his professional debut during the 2007–08 season, at the age of 17, in a league match against Lens. Saivet scored a goal in the final of the 2013 Coupe de France to help Bordeaux defeat Evian 3–2.[4]

Newcastle United

On 11 January 2016, Bordeaux manager Willy Sagnol confirmed that he gave Saivet permission to leave the club.[5] Later that day Saivet officially signed a five-and-half year contract with Newcastle United, joining for a reported fee of £5 million.[6][7]

After playing just four matches starting twice in half a season with Newcastle United, Saivet joined Saint-Étienne on a season-long loan on 23 August 2016 without a purchase option given to Saint-Étienne.[8][9]

On 23 August 2017, Saivet played his first game for Newcastle since 6 February 2016, starting an EFL Cup tie against Nottingham Forest.[10] He was recalled to the first team on 23 December and scored a free kick in a 3–2 Premier League win against West Ham.[11]

On 25 August 2018, it was announced that Saivet would join Turkish club Bursaspor on loan for the season.[12]

Pau

In June 2022, Saivet joined French club Pau.[13]
