What a journey it has been for Esté, who, just over three years ago, was still playing in the National. Top scorer in the 2025/2026 McDonald’s Ligue 1 season with 20 goals, the Auxerre-born player has caught the eye of Zinédine Zidane.

 

From next week, he will join Andy Diouf, Jérémy Jacquet, Adrien Truffert, Eduardo Camavinga, Lucas Da Cunha, Désiré Doué and Ousmane Dembélé, all of whom came through the Rouge et Noir Academy.

 

We’re proud of you all!
