Samuel Souprayen

A central defender, equally able to play as a left full back, Samuel Souprayen is one of the most promising young Rennes players at his position. Captain of the 2008 Gambardella Cup Winning squad, simple, efficient, down to earth, Samuel Souprayen has all it takes to make it to the highest level. He will now have to keep on improving, in order to make his way into Frédéric Antonetti's tactics.
