Starting as fifth-choice at Toulouse in the 2015-16 season, a poor run of results saw Coach Dominique Arribage turn to the then 16-year-old, following the lead of Sinisa Mihajlovic with Donnarumma.

Becoming the youngest goalkeeper to make his Ligue 1 debut, Lafont has never looked back, commanding a regular first-team place and putting clubs such as Lazio on alert.
