Yann M'Vila.
This is a French footballer, who currently plays for French club Rennes. This 20-year-old started his youth career with Sains-Saint-Fussien in 1996 and made his way through four academies, before joining
Rennes in 2004. Five years later he made his way into their first team in 2009.
Yann M’Vila plays in the defensive midfield position. He has made forty-five appearances for the club and is yet to score for them.
He has also been a part of the French national squad since the under-16 level from 2006. He then made his way up the ladder and made it to the French first team in 2010.
Right now he plays for both the under-21 team and the senior team. M'Vila has given five exemplary performances for his country without scoring a goal.
He led the under seventeen side to the UEFA European Championship in 2007, and has captained several different junior teams. M'Vila was also named in the thirty man preliminary squad for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, but did not make the final twenty-three.
Yann is considered one of the brightest youngsters in France, as he is a very strong midfielder, thwarts attacks with ease and distributes the ball well. Rennes has currently put a fifteen million pounds price tag on him.
