Yannick dos Santos Djaló (born 5 May 1986) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays mainly as a forward but also as a winger.
He played most of his professional career with Sporting after reaching the club's youth system at the age of 15, going on to appear in more than 150 official games and win four major titles. He also represented Benfica in 2012, conquering the Portuguese League Cup.
Djaló gained 23 caps for Portugal at youth level, making his full debut in 2010.
Born in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, Djaló was brought up through Sporting Clube de Portugal's prolific youth system, and made his Primeira Liga debut on 16 September 2006, playing the second half of a 0–1 home loss against F.C. Paços de Ferreira. He proved himself a quality player, often coming off the bench, and also appeared in the club's campaign in the UEFA Champions League, renewing his contract during the season until 2013.
On 6 April 2008, after a four-month absence due to injury, Djaló scored both goals in a 2–0 home win over S.C. Braga, having also scored the previous week as a substitute in a 4–1 away success over Associação Naval 1º de Maio. He finished the season in good form, netting the only goal in a win at Paços de Ferreira which proved crucial in helping the side to retain its second place in the league; in the Taça de Portugal, he scored twice in a thrilling 5–3 semi-final win against city-rivals S.L. Benfica.
