Club career

Born in Rouen, [2] Mokrane Bentoumi first played football in Petit-Couronne, before spending time at FC Rouen. [3]

He joined the Le Havre academy in 2018, [4] becoming a regular with the under-19s by the 2021–22 season, during which he was part of the team that beat Paris Saint-Germain in the Coupe Gambardella. [5] [6] [7]

The following season, whilst still impressing with the under-19, [8] [9] Bentoumi became a regular with Le Havre reserve team, scoring his first goal in March 2023, during a 1–0 National 3 win against the Mont-Gaillard  [ fr ] team. [10]

He made his professional debut for Le Havre on the 15 May 2023, replacing Josué Casimir at the 80th minute of a 1–0 Ligue 2 away loss to FC Annecy. In a team still trying to consolidate its status as league leader, the young playmaker made a strong impression, even coming close to delivering a decisive assist to Yann Kitala. [2] [3] [11]

On 14 August 2024, Bentoumi was loaned by Villefranche in Championnat National. [12]

International career

Mokrane Bentoumi holds French and Algerian nationalities. [13] [14] He is a youth international for France, first receiving a call with the under-16 in May 2021 for two unofficial games. [15] He later became a full international with France under-18 by September 2022, being selected for the Tournoi de Limoges. [2] [3] [16]

Style of play

Bentoumi is described as a compact left-footed playmaker, technically gifted, good at eliminating defenders trough dribles or passes. [2] [3]

His footballing profile and origins earned him compassions to Algerian legend Riyad Mahrez. [11]
