Lago Junior Wakalible (born 31 December 1990), known as Junior, is an Ivorian footballer who plays for Spanish club RCD Mallorca as a forward.
Born in Abidjan, Junior began his football career at the Centre de Formation Joël Tiéhi, a school founded by former player Joël Tiéhi. In 2007, he made his senior debuts with Issia Wazi, scoring at an excellent rate.
On 31 January 2009, Junior moved to Spain and signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with CD Numancia. He made his La Liga debut on 18 April, playing ten minutes in a 0–3 loss at Atlético Madrid; until the end of the season he only amassed four more games, all as a substitute, and the Soria club was relegated as 19th.
On 27 August 2010, Junior joined SD Eibar on a season-long loan. Two days later he scored twice on his official debut for the Segunda División B side, a 2–1 home win against CF Palencia.
On 13 July 2013, after two more Segunda División campaigns with Numancia, Junior continued in the country and signed for Gimnàstic de Tarragona from division three. On 22 July 2015, after achieving promotion, he moved to CD Mirandés in the second tier.
