B

Trained at the club’s academy, this athletic player can equally play as a defensive midfielder or as a central defender. Often injured during his early Ligue 1 career with Rennes, he actually managed to make his way into the first team, player as an anchor in midfield, and despite the competition at this position. In winter 2006, he is pushed back to play along John Mensah in central defence, immediately forming a very complementary partnership with the Ghanaian. Considered as a high potential player, “Boubou” has already won many titles in the youth categories. Severy injured at the end of the 2006-2007 season, he eventually decides to sign a contract with Paris Saint-Germain, in July 2007.
