Early life Moutoussamy was born on 12 August 1996 in Paris, France. His mother is Congolese and his father is Indo-Guadeloupean of Tamil origin; his surname comes from his father.

He later joined Boulogne-Billancourt and Montrouge FC 92 before entering the Lyon academy in 2011, and moved to Nantes in 2016.
