Great penalty save by PSG's Areola… but does he have Mystic Mbappe to thank?! ??? /W3rBRZ8lHvĪ 17-year-old attacking midfielder in the game, Yaisien currently finds himself in the Egyptian Premier League with Al Mokawloon. He also had successful loan spells at Lens, Bastia and Villarreal, as well as playing 57 league games for PSG over the years. Currently second choice, it remains to be seen whether he stays there in the long run or goes searching for regular football. Now a France international, the ‘keeper is still on the books at PSG, but is currently on loan at West Ham with an option to buy. It’s surely a rarity that a player can have loan spells at both Real Madrid and Fulham within two years, with Areola spending a year at the Bernabeu as a backup to Thibaut Courtois. The other success story on this list also happens to be a goalkeeper, and Areola has not had a normal career by any means. Maignan then joined AC Milan as a direct replacement for PSG bound Gianluigi Donnarumma in the summer, and at 26 years old, is about to reach his prime years as first choice at one of Europe’s biggest clubs, where he continues to go from strength to strength. He went on to make over 150 appearances for Lille, culminating in a shock Ligue 1 title last season, beating his former side to top spot. Maignan never played a senior game for PSG, and was released in 2015, but was quickly picked up by Lille as an 18-year-old. Just 15 years old at the time of release, the French goalkeeper is one who is well on his way to fulfilling his potential from the game. In reality, there were some mixed results. Nevertheless, PSG did possess some young talent, and FM scout managed to pick out four talents who could be described as ‘wonderkids’ on the game. With the announcement of this big-spending project, the idea of a youth system at the club suddenly seemed somewhat pointless, given the amount that was about to be splurged. When Football Manager 2012 was released, Paris Saint-Germain were going through some serious changes.Īfter a heavy injection of cash following the purchase of the club by Nasser Al-Khelaifi from Qatar, the French side started bringing in huge names, with the likes of Blaise Matuidi and Javier Pastore arriving in the summer of 2011.
