Lars Joseph Ceesay (born 3 June 1998) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Italian Serie B club Cesena on loan from Malmö FF. Born in Sweden, he represents the Gambia national team.

Club career

Ceesay began to play football in Hässelby SK. In 2008 he moved to Brommapojkarna, well known for their youth academy. In the summer of 2013, Ceesay moved to another club in the Stockholm region, Djurgården. In November 2016 he signed his first A-team deal with Djurgården; a 3.5-years contract. During spring 2017, he was loaned out to Vasalunds and scored a goal in May 2017 against Enskede.

In July 2017, Ceesay was loaned out to Frej for the rest of the 2017 season. In December, the loan was extended until the end of 2018. He was called back to Djurgården in July 2018, only to be sent on loan to Brage a month later. In January 2019 he was again loaned, this time to Dalkurd, for the 2019 season.

On 29 November 2019, he signed with Helsingborgs IF on a two-year deal.

On 11 July 2022, Ceesay signed with Malmö FF.

On 23 March 2024, it was decided that Ceesay would join IFK Norrköping on loan until the summer transfer window. He returned to Malmö FF after declining a loan extension, despite interest from both IFK Norrköping and Malmö FF for him to remain.

On 24 July 2024, Serie B newcomers Cesena FC announced that Ceesay had joined on loan with an option to buy.

International career

Born in Sweden, Ceesay is of Gambian descent. On 5 October 2020, he was called up to the Sweden U21 national team training camp in Olympia, Helsingborg. He did not appear in scheduled UEFA Euro U-21 qualifying games against Luxembourg and Armenia.

Ceesay made his debut for the Gambia national team on 4 September 2024 in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Comoros at the Ben M'Hamed El Abdi Stadium, Morocco. He played the full game as it ended in a 1–1 draw.
