Neeskens Kebano (born 10 March 1992 in Montereau) is a French-born Congolese football player who currently plays for the English club Fulham. He plays as an attacking midfielder and a winger. Kebano is a French youth international having earned caps at under-17, under-18 level, and under-19 level. He made his youth international debut at the 2008 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship.
Kebano was born in the commune of Montereau-Fault-Yonne, Île-de-France. He was given the first name Neeskens as a homage to the former Dutch international midfielder Johan Neeskens whom his father, Nestor Kebano, was a big admirer of. Kebano was immersed into football at an early age and began his career playing for hometown club ASA Montereau. While at Montereau, he also competed in judo before opting to focus on football. In 2004, Kebano was among a host of players attempting to earn selection to the Clairefontaine academy. While at the academy's detection camp, he drew interest from Paris Saint-Germain scout Pierre Reynaud. The club contacted the player and offered him a trial at the club, which he accepted. After spending the 2005 season playing at Montereau, Kebano was contacted again by Paris Saint-Germain who brought him in for a second trial in December 2005. In the following January, the club signed him on an aspirant (youth) contract and he joined the club in July 2006.
