Aboubakary Kanté (born 11 August 1994), nicknamed Booba, is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Le Mans on loan from Cercle Brugge.

Club career

Aboubakar began playing football at the age of 6, and played for various clubs in Paris. He joined Paris FC in 2013.[1] He joined Béziers in 2017 after a couple of seasons in the lower divisions of France, and helped them get promoted into the Ligue 2.[2]

Kanté made his professional debut in a 2–0 Ligue 2 win over AS Nancy on 27 July 2018.[3] On 5 June 2019, Kanté joined Belgian club Cercle Brugge on a three-year contract.[4] However, in the beginning of September 2019, after having only played about 65 minutes in three games, he was loaned out to Le Mans FC, according to him because he didn't felt like the club trusted him.[5][6]
