Standard Liège

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] Djenepo scored his second goal for the club in a 1–0 victory against Sheffield United, which was voted as goal of the month in September 2019.[15] On 7 March 2020, Djenepo was given a red card against Newcastle after Graham Scott checked the pitchside monitor.[16] Djenepo would not make another appearance that season.[17]

On 12 September 2020, Djenepo made his first appearance of the season in a 1–0 defeat to Crystal Palace, replacing Will Smallbone in the 77th minute.[18] Djenepo scored his first goal of the 2020–21 season on 4 October 2020 in a 2–0 win over West Bromwich Albion.[19] On 4 January 2021, Djenepo sustained a muscle injury and was forced to come off in the first half during a 1–0 victory against Liverpool.[20] On 20 March 2021, Djenepo would score his second goal of the season in a 0–3 victory against Bournemouth in the FA Cup.[21]

Djenepo made his first appearance of the 2021–22 season on 14 August 2021 in a 3–1 defeat to Everton.[22] Djenepo only made 16 appearances during the campaign and scored no goals for the club.[23]

On 6 August 2022, Djenepo made his first appearance of the season in a 4–1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.[24] On 14 September 2022, Southampton announced Djenepo had signed a new three-year contract until 2025.[25] On 11 January 2023, Djenepo scored in a 2–0 victory against Manchester City in the EFL Cup.[26]

Antalyaspor (loan)
