Guillaume Lino Restes (French pronunciation: [ɡijom ʁɛst]; born 11 March 2005) is a French professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Ligue 1 club Toulouse.[2]

Club career

Toulouse

Born in Toulouse, Haute-Garonne,[3] Restes joined the Toulouse academy as a six years old,[4] from the club of the Montaudran suburb.[5]

Restes signed his first professional contract with the club on the summer 2021.[4][5][6] His promising performances with the youth team and the National 3 reserve of Toulouse at a young age soon earned him comparisons to former Toulouse player Alban Lafont.[7]

During the 2023 pre-season, despite the arrival of LaLiga2 champion Álex Domínguez and the initial announcement of Coupe de France winner Kjetil Haug as the number 1 goalkeeper,[8] Restes established himself as a potential starter for his club after the departure of Maxime Dupé, playing the entirety of the last summer friendly, a 2–1 home win against Mourinho's AS Roma.[4][9]

Restes made his professional debut for Toulouse on the 13 August 2023, playing the full 90 minutes of a 2–1 away Ligue 1 win to Nantes,[10] the young goalkeeper earning praises for his decisive performance.[11][12][13]

International career

Restes is a youth international for France, having played with the under-17 and under-18 teams.[4]

Having a mother of Ivorian descent, Restes is also potentially eligible for the Ivory Coast national team.[14]
