Club career

Marseille

Born in Marseille and a youth product of Olympique de Marseille, Boutobba made his league debut on 14 December 2014 in a 1–0 away defeat against AS Monaco at the Stade Louis II, replacing Mario Lemina for the last six minutes of the game.[2] In doing so, he became the youngest ever player to play an official match for Marseille, at the age of 16 years, 3 months and 15 days. The record was previously held by his teammate Jérémie Porsan-Clémenté, who was aged 16 years and 8 months on his debut earlier in the season.[3]

Sevilla

On 18 June 2016, Boutobba confirmed that he would not be renewing his contract with Marseille and would instead be joining La Liga side Sevilla on a free transfer.[4] On 7 July he joined them on a four-year deal, initially assigned to their reserve side.[5] Boutobba made his debut in Segunda División on 10 September, replacing David Carmona for the final seven minutes of a 1–0 loss at CD Lugo.[6]

On 31 August 2018, Boutobba terminated his contract with Sevilla.[7]

Montpellier

On 21 September 2018, Boutobba returned to Ligue 1 with Montpellier Montpellier HSC on an undisclosed contract. He was assigned to their reserve team in Championnat National 3.[8][9] He made his first-team debut on 24 February 2019, replacing Nicolas Cozza after an hour of a 4–2 home loss to Stade de Reims, and made one more appearance off the bench over the season.[10]

Niort

In August 2020, out of contract at Montpellier, Boutobba signed a three-year deal at Chamois Niortais F.C. in Ligue 2.[11] He scored his first professional league goal on 7 November to open a 4–3 win at FC Sochaux-Montbéliard that put his team in first place.[12]

International career

Boutobba was born in France and is of Algerian descent.[13] Boutobba made his debut for France under-17 on 25 October 2014 in a European qualifier at Pafiako Stadium in Paphos, Cyprus, playing the entirety of a 3–0 win over Macedonia.[14] In the opening match of the Elite Round on 20 March 2015, he netted the only goal in the first minute of the second half to defeat Israel.[15] He was part of the French squad which won the finals in Bulgaria, netting in a 5–0 win over Scotland in the first group game.[16]

Later in the year, he went with the team to the FIFA U-17 World Cup, forcing a James McGarry own goal and scoring in a 6–1 rout of New Zealand in the opening group game in Puerto Montt.[17] Three days later, with a third-minute goal, he opened a 4–3 win over Paraguay.[18] In the last 16, he scored in the penalty shootout as France were eliminated by Costa Rica after a goalless draw.[19]
