Club career

Montpellier

On 3 March 2010, he signed his first professional contract after agreeing to a three-year deal with Montpellier.[4] During the 2011/12 season, Stambouli played 26 league games as Montpellier won the Ligue 1 title for the first time in the club's history. During the 2013/14 season, Stambouli played 37 out of Montpellier's 38 league games and was even promoted to position of vice-captain behind Brazilian Hilton.[5]

Tottenham Hotspur

On 1 September 2014 it was confirmed that Stambouli had signed for Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur for an undisclosed fee, rumoured to be in the region of £4.7 million.[6] He scored his first goal for the club in a Europa League match against Partizan Belgrade on 27 November, following up a shot from Roberto Soldado, which had rebounded off of the post. [7] Stambouli appeared in every round of the Carling Cup as Tottenham reached the final of the Carling Cup at Wembley, however Stambouli was an unused substitute in the Carling Cup Final as Tottenham were beaten 2-0 by Chelsea.[8] At the conclusion of his first year at Spurs, Stambouli had made just 12 appearances in the Premier League.[9]

Paris Saint-Germain

On 20 July 2015, Paris Saint-Germain manager Laurent Blanc confirmed Stambouli would be joining PSG for a fee of £6 million, £1.3 million more than Tottenham Hotspur had paid a year earlier.[10][11] He made his debut on 1 August in the 2015 Trophée des Champions at the Stade Saputo in Montreal, playing the final 20 minutes in place of Marco Verratti in a 2–0 victory over Lyon.[12]
