Midfielders

A small-size playmaker with a technical ability as brilliant as confusing to his opponents, Yacine Brahimi was initially trained at the INF Clairefontaine. He was a centre part to the 2008 Gambardella Cup victory, and, coveted by some of Europe’s greatest teams, he signed his first professional contract soon after the final. Loaned to Clermont for the 2009-2010 season, he impressed the fans and experts by his abilities to eliminate direct opponents and create goals. The following season should allow him to confirm and prove his immense talent at the highest level.

Trained as a defensive midfielder, Pajot is characterised, on the pitch, by high work rate and disconcerting maturity for a player of his age. A member of the 1990 generation and a 2008 Gambardella Cup winner, Pajot went on to become one of the base-men in Laurent Huard’s Reserve team, even receiving the captain’s armband for the 2009-2010 season. At the term of his intern contract, he signed his first professional deal for a year, with an option for another two years. Eager to toughen up at professional level, he was loaned to Boulogne-sur-Mer for the 2010-season.
