Description:

Paris Saint-Germain is a true top European giant, but the club doesn’t forget about the youth academy, which is considered to be one of the best in the country. One of their brightest prospects is for sure Alec Georgen, who is often compared to famous former French international Bixente Lizarazu, thanks to his stature and speed. He belongs to a very talented generation of French players born in 1998, which won a gold medal at the UEFA European Under-17 Championship in great style back in 2015. He was also one of the key players of PSG U19 team during UEFA Youth League 2015/2016 campaign, where young “Les Parisiens” did very good until the final, which they unluckily lost to Chelsea.

Quotes:

“It’s a great source of pride and with great pleasure that I’ve signed my first professional contract here. I’m a Paris supporter – it’s my club. Now I hope to win as many trophies as possible in the age groups I play in this season. There are a lot of great players that play for this club and I know that by joining the professional squad, I know I’m going to be progressing a lot faster than I would in another category.”
