Kyllian Anderson Antonio (born 4 January 2008) is a French professional footballer who plays as a defender for Ligue 1 club Lens.
Born in Champigny-sur-Marne, in the south-east of Paris' inner ring, Antonio is a youth product of US Torcy, from he joined the INF Clairefontaine in 2021.[1][2][3]
In June 2023, he signed with Lens, where he soon started playing with the under-19, in the domestic competition and the UEFA Youth League.[2][3]
The following season, he started playing with the National 3 reserve, before being first selected in the Ligue 1 squad by Will Still in October 2024.[1][2][4] He subsequently extended its contract with the club in March 2025.[1][3][5]
On 30 March 2025, injuries from Juma Bah and Jonathan Gradit prompted Still to start Antonio in the derby against Lille,[6][7] making his professional debut with this 1–0 Ligue 1 away defeat.[8][9] In the 83 minutes he played, despite some putting himself under pressure early on, he managed to put on a promising performance, earning him praises from his manager.[10][11]
