Having spent his youth career with Arminia Bielefeld, it was announced that Gaye would leave the club on 30 June 2019, having never appeared for the first team. On 21 July 2019, he subsequently joined SG Wattenscheid 09.[1] After just nine games, Gaye was forced to find another new club after Wattenscheid filed for bankruptcy in mid-October 2019, forfeiting the rest of their season.[2] In January 2020, the young goalkeeper joined VfB Stuttgart II.[3]
In July 2020, Gaye moved to TuS Rot-Weiß Koblenz.[4] In January 2023, he signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Bulgarian club Lokomotiv Sofia.[5]
Gaye debuted with the Gambia national team in a friendly 1–0 win over Congo on 9 October 2020.[6]
He played in the 2021 Africa cup of Nations, his national team's first continental tournament, where they made a sensational quarter-final.[7][8] Gaye was also included in the country's squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.[9]
