Ilya Zabarnyi, a 22-year-old central defender from Bournemouth, is attracting attention across the European football scene. According to recent comments by Florent Sinama-Pongolle on Canal+, Zabarnyi’s recent performances have clearly caught his eye — and he fully endorses the player’s profile in view of a potential move to Paris Saint-Germain.

Sinama-Pongolle: “What he shows us is really smart”

“He had a header that hit the crossbar and could’ve equalized for his team. In the second half, he was quite impressive, stepping up to challenge his direct opponent. What he’s offering is really intelligent. He has a great reading of the game — he quickly repositions himself. His long passes are very interesting, and he has this ability to find angles and place attackers in good positions with his ball-playing skills.”

Florent Sinama-Pongolle’s analysis highlights Zabarnyi’s tactical maturity, showing that he can meet the demands of top-level football. Under pressure, he stood out with a powerful header that nearly brought his team level — a testament to his threat on set-pieces. But it’s his game intelligence and ability to adapt quickly that are especially appealing. This defensive awareness is combined with appreciated technical skills, including precise forward passes from deep that help launch attacking transitions.

A strong ball-playing defender — this profile, both solid and creative in the build-up, fits perfectly with Paris Saint-Germain’s needs, as the club is constantly seeking young, talented center-backs who can initiate play from the back — a crucial trait for competing with Europe’s elite.
