Career

Born in Créteil, Biamou spent his early career in non-league football with Villemomble Sports, Yzeure and Sutton United.[2] He signed for Coventry City in June 2017.[3] In August 2018 he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, and was ruled out for a number of months.[4] At the start of the 2019–20 season Coventry tried to play Biamou on the left wing; manager Mark Robins judged it unsuccessful and said he wouldn't be repeating it.[5] In a post-match interview conducted after a 2-0 win against Southend United in February 2020, Biamou praised the club for his footballing development, saying "I am a completely different player since I came to Coventry".[6]
