BIOGRAPHY Yoann Gourcuff, born July 11, 1986, in Ploemeur, France, is a French footballer who is presently playing with Bordeaux on loan from A.C. Milan as of 2009.
Having started out with FC Lorient (then managed by his father, Christian) at a young age, Gourcuff signed a youth contract with Stade Rennais in 2001, followed by a professional contract two years later. Making only nine appearances in the 2003-04 season and scored 7 goals, the following season was more successful for him, with him scoring 15 goals in the 2005-06 season, helping Rennes to finish 7th in Ligue 1 and winning them a place in the 2006 Intertoto Cup.
Having been linked with a host of big name European clubs such as Ajax Amsterdam, Valencia CF and Arsenal F.C., at the end of the 2006 season, Gourcuff moved to A.C. Milan signing a contract to the 2010-11 season. He started his Milan career by scoring a goal in Milan's first UEFA Champions League match against AEK Athens. On May 31, 2008, Adriano Galliani revealed Milan would loan Gourcuff to FC Girondins de Bordeaux for the 2008-09 season, to allow him more playing time.
Gourcuff has been capped for France at schoolboy level and was part of the winning French team at the 2005 European Under-19 Football Championship. He made his debut for the France national team on 2008-08-20 against Sweden. On October 11, 2008 he scored his first goal for the France national football team against Romania. View GALLERY:
