The Latest French Sensation To Make Noise

The Latest French Sensation To Make Noise

To say that Rennes produces some of the best talents through their academy is an understatement. From the likes of Eduardo Camavinga, Lesly Ugochukwo, Kamaldeen Sulemana and Martin Terrier, they have been nothing short of exceptional for Rennes both at youth level and for the senior team. Adding to the list is rising forward Loum Tchaouna.

The French forward is causing waves at both youth and senior level and for all the right reasons. To talk about recent events, Loum Tchaouna struck twice for Les Bleus victory over Italy to top the 2022 Under-19 Euro finals goalscoring charts.

But who is Loum Tchaouna and would he be able to hit similar heights to his former and current academy teammates?

 

Who is Loum Tchaouna? 

One of the stars of the French U19’s campaign at Euro had been Stade Rennais winger Loum Tchaouna, who has scored in every game in the tournament – the young winger has made 10 appearances in Ligue 1 this season for Rennes. Although he had no goal involvements for Rennes in his debut season, Manchester City and PSG were reportedly observing the player’s performances for Les Bleus this summer.

Stade Rennais have surely discovered another promising talent, in the form of Loum Tchaouna, but only time will tell if his polishing is done appropriately. But there’s no denying the fact that he is at the right club in terms of development.

In the recent Euro’s U19 final, a match that lasted with no shortage in intensity, which clearly makes you want to see it again in action. So, inevitably, the young man was entitled to the praise of his family at the end of the game who were present in the stadium.

 

Loum Tchaouna potential

Having already made a mark as a goal-scoring forward in the Rennes academy and then as an occasional impact substitute for the first team, the Chad-born winger has been outstanding in his short senior Rennes career. With his direct running, dribbling and ability to beat an opponent, the left-footed forward is one of the hottest prospects in Europe. Courtesy of his top-notch off-the-ball running, the energetic 18-year-old is a top prospect who could be months away from a proper Ligue 1 breakthrough.
