Professional Career

Troyes

Beauvue joined Troyes from Nantes' academy in 2006. He made his professional debut on 24 of August 2007 against Bastia in the 2007–08 Ligue 2 season. He signed his first professional contract with the club in the summer of 2008.

Chateauroux

On 23 March 2011, Beauvue was loaned (with an option to make deal permanent) for the 2011–12 Ligue 2 season to Châteauroux.[1] He made his first start against Guingamp and scored 10 goals in 37 matches during the Ligue 2 campaign, with Châteauroux exercising their option to make the loan deal permanent.

On 19 October 2012, during the 2012–13 season, Beauvue scored a hat-trick in a Ligue 2 match against Gazélec Ajaccio (3–1).

Bastia

On 29 January 2013, Beauvue was loaned – with an option to buy – to Ligue 1 side Bastia. He made his first start for the Corsican side against Evian and score his first and only goal for the side during the 36th matchday of the 2012–13 Ligue 1 season against Montpellier. At the end of the season, Bastia did not opt to purchase Beauvue.

Guingamp

On 30 June 2013, Beauvue signed for Guingamp. During his first season, he lifted the Coupe de France with his team after they beat Rennes 2–0 at the Stade de France.

During the next season, Beauvue became a regular starter for the side during its Ligue 1 and UEFA Europa League campaign. He scored five goals in the Europa League – one against Fiorentina, one against Dinamo Minsk, two against PAOK and one against Dynamo Kyiv – in a campaign in which Guingamp were able to qualify for the round of 16 of the Europa League for the first team in club history.

Beauvue finished the season with 22 goals in 46 games that season, fifth-most in Ligue 1 behind Alexandre Lacazette, André-Pierre Gignac, Zlatan Ibrahimović and Edinson Cavani.

Lyon

On 27 June 2015, Beauvue joined Lyon on a four-year contract. The transfer fee was estimated at €4.5 million, with €3 million bonus. He played his first match with the side against Paris Saint-Germain, a 2–0 loss in the Trophée des Champions played in Montreal. He scored his first goal with the club in a 1–0 win against former club Guingamp at the Stade du Roudourou. He did not celebrate the goal, however, and opted to spend the night at the Panier des Salades, a bar frequented by Guingamp fans.

Despite his numerous first-team starts, Beauvue failed to fit in with the Lyon style of play, which is more focused on passing and possession. He scored his last goal for the club against another former side, Troyes.

Celta Vigo

On 16 January 2016, during the winter transfer window, Beauvue joined Spanish La Liga side Celta de Vigo on a €5 million transfer fee, along with a €2.5 million bonus. He signed a five-year contract.[2]

International career

Beauvue was born in Guadeloupe and moved to France at a young age. He was called up to the Guadeloupe national team in 2009 and scored his first goal for them in 2016, against Suriname.[3]
