Career
Gigot is a youth product of Arles-Avignon. He made his Ligue 2 debut on 30 August 2013 in a match against Niort.[4] On 15 August 2014, he scored his first league goal against Nancy.[5]
On 4 June 2018, Gigot signed a four-year contract with Russian club Spartak Moscow, where he later became notable for his passion, and, despite being a defender, his willingness to join attacks.[6] On 19 August 2019, he scored two goals in a 2–1 win over CSKA Moscow in the Main Moscow derby.[7]
On 29 January 2022, Gigot signed for Ligue 1 club Marseille; he was loaned back to Spartak Moscow for the rest of the 2021–22 season.[8] On 19 March 2022, he marked his 100th appearance for Spartak in all competitions during a 1–1 tie against FC Nizhny Novgorod.[citation needed] His last match for the team was a highly emotional 2–1 win over Dynamo Moscow on 29 May 2022 in the Russian Cup final.
His debut for Marseille in Ligue 1 was on 7 August 2022, when he started in a 4–1 victory over Reims. Gigot scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 victory over LOSC Lille on 10 September 2022.
On 30 August 2024, just before the transfer window closed, Gigot joined Serie A club Lazio on loan for the 2024–25 season, with a conditional obligation to buy.[9][10]
