Florian Thauvin

Florian Thauvin is a French professional footballer who plays as a right winger. His name is tied above all to the 2018 World Cup won with France in Russia, a triumph that followed an earlier global title with the national team, the FIFA U-20 World Cup lifted in 2013. Formed at Grenoble and launched at Bastia, where he belonged to the squad that won Ligue 2 in 2011-12 and where his form earned him the Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year award for 2012-13, he built his reputation over two spells at Marseille, passing eighty goals for the club and reaching the Europa League final in 2018. A season in the Premier League with Newcastle United, a period in Liga MX with Tigres UANL and a Serie A chapter with Udinese gave him an unusually broad range of experience either side of the Atlantic. Left-footed and at his most dangerous cutting in from the right touchline, he is a set piece specialist and a creator as much as a finisher, and he was made a Knight of the Legion of Honour in 2018.
