Florent Malouda Top French Footballer PlaysFlorent Johan Malouda (born 13 June 1980 in Cayenne, French Guiana) is a French footballer who plays as a left winger for Chelsea F.C. in the Premier League and internationally for the French national football team. Florent Malouda signed for Chelsea in July 2007 after beating off stiff competition from around Europe including Real Madrid. The French winger joined Chelsea from Lyon for an undisclosed fee said to be around £13.5 million. He joined them on a four and a half year deal.
Malouda made his debut for France on 17 November 2004 in a match against Poland. He then became a regular for his country, scoring his first goal for his country on May 31, 2005 against Hungary. After playing almost throughout France's qualifying campaign for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Malouda earned a call up to the final squad. Malouda continued to play regularly in the tournament, where the French eventually lost on penalties to Italy in the final. He won a penalty for France in that game which was converted by Zinédine Zidane. To date, Malouda has scored three goals in 54 appearances for the France national team.
