Mini bio
How it started.
Youssouf grew up in Burundi and began his football journey at home. He played for Aigle Noir before moving to Turkey with Yeni Malatyaspor in 2020. His progress brought a move to Istanbul Başakşehir in early 2021.
The step to France.
After 74 appearances for Başakşehir, he joined OGC Nice on 25 January 2023. Able to play in central defence or midfield, he became a familiar presence in the team. His long-range goal at Montpellier helped Nice reach the 2024 Coupe de France quarter-finals.
A connection with the supporters.
As vice-captain in 2024-25, he scored important goals at Strasbourg and Paris. Nice supporters named him joint Aiglon of the season with Evann Guessand. A cruciate ligament injury interrupted that campaign, and he returned to competitive football at Angers on 14 March 2026.
