On May 11, 2026, at 4:02 PM, Maxence Dourlen published an article about Axel Lassus, a young and relatively unknown face to the public, who is making waves in the professional group of Stade Brestois. At only 17 years old, this midfielder, trained at Étoile Sportive Gimontoise Football in Gers, has been consistently appearing on the match sheets in Ligue 1.
Axel Lassus was part of the team for a dream match against Paris Saint-Germain on May 10th, marking his third appearance in Ligue 1 after Lens and Lorient. Although Brest lost 1-0 at Parc des Princes, Lassus gained valuable experience at the highest level, even though he did not get to play.
With two more matches left in the championship, against Strasbourg and Angers, there is still hope for Axel Lassus to make his debut in Ligue 1. His journey from Gimont to Castelmaurou has been highlighted, where he honed his skills before joining Stade Brestois.
Axel Lassus has been a standout player for the U19 team, scoring four goals in 24 matches this season. His potential was recognized by the professional staff, leading to his inclusion in the senior team’s training sessions.
Despite his young age, Axel Lassus has been exposed to the high-level environment, learning from seasoned players like Ludovic Ajorque, Brendan Chardonnet, and Lucas Tousart. As he continues to develop his technical abilities, left-footed skills, and game vision, many are hopeful for his professional debut.
The question now remains whether Eric Roy will give Axel Lassus his first minutes in Ligue 1 before the end of the season. Supporters from Gimont and across Gers will eagerly follow Brest’s final matches to see the young talent in action.
