Club career

A youth talentful player of Monaco, Ngakoutou gained first-team playing time on loan at Arles-Avignon in 2014, where he made his professional debut in a 0–0 Ligue 2 draw against AC Ajaccio.[1]

After a short experience in Switzerland with Lausanne, Ngakoutou was loaned again in Ligue 2 to Evian TG in July 2015.[2]

After a relatively good season with Evian TG, in July 2016, he went on trial with Ligue 1 side Bastia but did not convince the club.

In January 2017, he went on trial at English League One side Bolton but did not convince the club and on 31 January 2017, he was loaned for six months to Belgian second division side Union Saint-Gilloise.

In July 2017, he went on trial at Belgian second division side Cercle Brugge but failed to convince the club and stayed at Monaco for one more season.

On 1 July 2018, his contract with Monaco expired and he was released after seven years with the club.

After nearly two years without playing professional football, in July 2019, N'Gakoutou was tested in two clubs, he first went on trial at English League Two side Swindon Town and after with the French fourth division team Annecy but did not convince either of the two clubs and ended up signing a one-year contract with the French fifth division club Bourges 18, where he scored 5 goals in 10 matches before the Coronavirus pandemic permanently interrupted competition in France.[3]

International career

Quentin is a former youth international of France, but in September 2018, the 24-year-old made his international debut for his country of birth, the Central African Republic in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualification match against Guinea on 9 September 2018.[4]
