[edit] Football career

Yohan began his football career with Olympique de Marseille in 1996, who were at the time attempting to bounce back from the bribery scandal they endured in the early 1990s. After spending nearly eight years in their youth system, he had a one-year spell at his local club Aubagne FC before moving to the principality-based side AS Monaco FC.^[1]

Just before the end of the 06–07 season, he and Monaco agreed to terms on a professional contract.^[2] He spent the next season in the CFA contributing to Monaco's squad that won the reserve's professional title. Due to his positive performances that season, he was dubbed the "Cristiano de Monaco" (Cristiano of Monaco), primarily due to his footballing ability being similar to the former Manchester United star and also because they both wore the number 7 shirt.^[3]

Yohan was promoted to the first-team and handed the number 26 kit for the 2008-09 season. He made his professional debut on October 18, 2008 in a 1–2 loss to OGC Nice appearing as a substitute.^[4] He scored his first goal for the club against Lorient in a 1–1 draw.

On 07 December 2009 the young attacking midfielder has signed his first pro contract with AS Monaco FC^[5].

[edit] International career

Yohan has appeared on and off with the France U-19 squad. He received a surprise call-up to the under-21 squad, who were looking for a fresh start after their elimination from the 2009 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship, for a friendly against Denmark. He made his under-21 debut in that match appearing as a substitute in the 68th minute. France would go on to win the match 1–0.
