Yann Mael Kembo Diantela (born 20 March 2002) is a French professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Spanish club Sporting Atlético.

Club career

Born in Le Mans, Kembo played for local sides AS Le Mans Villaret and Le Mans FC before joining Tours FC in 2017. He made his first team debut with the latter on 18 May 2019, starting in a 2–2 home draw against SO Cholet which sealed the club's relegation to the Championnat National 2.

On 15 July 2019, Kembo signed a four-year contract with RC Lens and returned to youth football. He left the club in January 2023 after being rarely used for their reserves, and went on a trial at Sporting de Gijón shortly after; he then signed a contract with the club on 4 February, being assigned to the B-team.

Kembo made his first team debut with the Asturians on 30 October 2024, starting in a 1–0 away win over CD Numancia, for the season's Copa del Rey. He made his professional debut on 4 December, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 away loss to Racing de Santander, also for the national cup.
