Career[edit]

After making his debut in the French lower divisions, Azamoum joined Ligue 2 side Troyes AC in 2013.[1] He made his full professional debut a few weeks later, coming on the pitch in the second half of a 3–0 victory over Châteauroux in September 2013.[2]

On 14 February 2016, he scored a brace contributing to Troyes' 3–2 win away to Gazélec Ajaccio in Ligue 1.[3]

On 17 July 2018, Segunda División side Cádiz CF reached an agreement for the transfer of Azamoum, who agreed to a three-year contract with the club.[4] The following 9 January, after being rarely used, he moved to fellow league team Elche CF on a six-month loan deal.[5]

On 11 July 2019, Azamoum agreed to a three-year contract with Albacete Balompié also in the second division.[6] He terminated his contract on 1 February 2021,[7] and returned to his former side Troyes.
