Yoann Miguel Gourcuff (born 11 July 1986) is a French professional footballer who currently plays for Ligue 1 club Bordeaux and the French national team. He operates mainly as an attacking midfielder, but can also be utilized as a withdrawn striker.
Yoann is the son of Christian Gourcuff, the current manager of Ligue 1 club FC Lorient, where Yoann began his career. In 2001, he followed in his father's footsteps and joined Rennes. After progressing through the youth ranks and making the senior team, Gourcuff quickly became a fan favorite among supporters and his individual achievements soon led to interest from clubs abroad, which resulted in a move to Italian club AC Milan. Gourcuff achieved many club honours despite not being able to break into the starting eleven, which resulted in the player being sent on loan to his current club Bordeaux. Following a successful season, in which he earned several club and individuals honours, Gourcuff signed with Bordeaux permanently. His playing style and ability have drawn comparisons to French legend Zinedine Zidane. He is the reigning Ligue 1 Player of the Year and was recently announced as France Football Magazine's French Player of the Year.
