Kévin Fortuné (born 6 August 1989) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for Championnat National club Villefranche. Born in metropolitan France, he plays for the Martinique national team.[1]
Early life
[edit]Fortuné was born in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, France but his family originated from the department of Martinique, making him eligible to play for their national team.[2]

[edit]On 31 August 2018, the last day of the 2018 summer transfer window, Fortuné joined Ligue 1 side Troyes AC from Ligue 2 club RC Lens signing a three-year contract.[3]
Tractor
[edit]On 22 August 2019, Fortuné joined Tractor S.C. after an undisclosed fee was agreed between Troyes AC and the Iranian club.
Media reports indicate that there was a high transfer fee involved and considering Fortuné’s annual income the deal was unprecedented in Iranian football and Fortuné becomes one of the highest earning players in the Persian Gulf Pro League.[citation needed]
