Central defender El Chadaille Bitshiabu has joined RB Leipzig from Paris Saint-Germain.

Born in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges in the Val-de-Marne, El Chadaille Bitshiabu joined PSG's youth academy in 2017 at the age of 12.

After playing for the U17 and U19 teams, the left-footed defender rose through the ranks before signing his first professional contract in July 2021.

A few months later, 'Chad' made his first-team debut for Paris Saint-Germain in a Coupe de France round-of-32 tie against Feignies-Aulnoye.

The 18-year-old made a total of 19 appearances in all competitions for the club, including 16 last season.

Paris Saint-Germain wish El Chadaille all the best under his new colours.
