Club career

Arsenal

Reine-Adelaide training with Arsenal, 2015

Born in Champigny-sur-Marne, Reine-Adélaïde started his career with RC Lens where he played for the club's youth and reserve sides. He made his first-team debut for Racing Club as an unused substitute on 18 April 2015 against Metz. Lens lost the match 3–1.[3] After the season, Reine-Adélaïde signed for Arsenal of the Premier League in England. He made his start for the 2015–16 season in the Emirates Cup against Lyon in which his performance was praised by supporters and pundits.[4]

He made his professional debut for Arsenal on 9 January 2016 against Sunderland in the FA Cup, coming on as an 81st-minute substitute for Joel Campbell in a 3–1 win at the Emirates Stadium.[5]

Reine-Adélaïde played for Arsenal in their victorious U21 Premier League's play off final of 2016. Also held at the Emirates Stadium, this win thus earned the Gooners promotion to the U21 league's first division.[6]

Adélaïde made six appearances for the club's first team during the 2016–17 season, with the last of those caps coming in Arsenal's FA Cup quarter-final win against Sutton United. After he featured against Reading for Arsenal's U23s, Adélaïde picked up an injury which thus sidelined him for the rest of the season.[7]

Angers

Adélaïde joined French Ligue 1 side Angers on loan for the rest of the 2017–18 season on 31 January 2018.[8] He made his Angers debut as a sub in a 4–0 loss to Monaco on 10 February 2018. He returned to Arsenal at the end of his loan on 1 July 2018. On 26 July 2018, Angers signed him from Arsenal for an undisclosed fee on a four-year contract.[9] He wore jersey number 22 for the 2018-19 season.[9]

Lyon

After a strong season debut match in which Reine-Adélaïde scored a goal and provided an assist, Olympique Lyonnais announced on 14 August 2019 that they had signed the player on a five-year contract from Angers SCO for €25 million, with an additional €2.5 million in bonuses.[10]

On 5 October 2020, Reine-Adélaïde joined Nice in a season-long loan with a €25 million option to buy.[11] However, the club opted not to make the move permanent, with Reine-Adélaïde having been injured for a large part of the season.[12]

On 30 January 2023, Reine-Adélaïde signed for Ligue 1 club Troyes on loan until the end of the season.[13]

RWD Molenbeek

On 6 September 2023, recently-promoted to Belgian Pro League side RWD Molenbeek announced the signing of Reine-Adélaïde on a one-year contract with an option for a further year.[14]

Salernitana

On 20 August 2024, Reine-Adélaïde signed for Serie B club Salernitana on a two-year contract.[15]
