Thibaut Vion (born 11 December 1993) is a French professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Bulgarian First League club CSKA Sofia.[2] He has been capped at international level playing in the U19 and U20 squads.

Club career[edit]

As 17 years old, Vion joined Portuguese club F.C. Porto from the youth academy of Metz. He expressed that he did not know Portuguese so had to learn it and on top of that he did not speak English well.[3] He made his debut for Porto B against Tondela in a 2–2 draw.[4]

On 30 August 2017, he joined French Ligue 2 club Chamois Niortais on a three-year contract.[5][6]

International career[edit]

Vion played at the 2012 UEFA U19 Championship. He was selected for France U20 in the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup. In the group stage 2–1 defeat against Spain U20 he came on as a 78th-minute substitute for Florian Thauvin and scored his debut goal in the 90+1 minute.[7][8]
