This 20 year old, French keeper is still a bit of an unearthed gem in the footballing world. Andrew Gibney described the youngster a having "quick reactions and no fear, he is certainly a ray of light in what are dark times for Lens."

Unlike many other young talents to emerge in goal Belon looks to catch most of what comes his way, performing less acrobatics and instead demonstrating a well developed handling skill. He also boasts an impressive ability to command his area for such a young keeper, knowing when to come and when to stay for crosses and through balls. He does still need work though and, due to his relative obscurity when it comes to reputation, he will likely start out with a low skill stat and take a few years before he is ready for first team duty in most top sides.

Valentin Belon may well be the goalkeeper for the long-term, lower league starting career manager.
