His interest in football erupted when he was a kid, and he trained with Bron Terraillon S. C., a team local to his vicinity at the time. He was in top form there, which attracted the attention of youth teams across France. He soon snagged a place with  French side Olympique Lyon.

He was in blistering form with the team, netting  38 goals for the U16 team. His inclusion in the first team remains a humour point in his career history to this day, as it was a surprise even to himself at the time.
