Antoine Gauthier (born 1 July 2004) is a French professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Ligue 1 club Saint-Étienne.
Career
[edit]During the preseason leading up to the 2022–23 season, Gauthier was among the Saint-Étienne youth players most involved in the first team's preparation, and he notably registered an assist during a 1–1 friendly draw against Grenoble.[1] Under manager Laurent Batlles, he made his professional debut as a late-match substitute in a 5–0 Ligue 2 win over Bastia on 30 August 2022.[2][3] Eight days later on 7 September, Gauthier signed his first professional contract with Saint-Étienne, a deal lasting until June 2025.[4]
Style of play
[edit]Gauthier has previously been described as one of Saint-Étienne's "most hopeful" youth prospects.[5] A left-footed attacking midfielder, he is seen as a player who "reads the game well" and who "distributes the ball" with quick decision-making. Gauthier is adept at set pieces, and is able to register many assists thanks to his proficiency in the domain.[6]
