Brest club-trained players

On the record we can verify, 2 players club-trained at Brest now play for other clubs we track, led by Robin Le Normand (Atlético de Madrid, value €20m) and Axel Camblan (Estoril, value €3m).

• Robin Le Normand · Atlético de Madrid · €20m
• Axel Camblan · Estoril · €3m

We count a player as club-trained when his record shows him registered with the club for three entire seasons or 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21 (UEFA's home-grown test), wherever he started and whatever he cost; time on loan counts for the club that borrowed him.
