Paris Saint-Germain is continuing its ambitious recruitment policy for its Espoirs squad, with the imminent arrival of Ethan Luvambano (18, winger from Le Havre), Ilian Mhand (winger from Deinze) and the likely signing of Dimitri Lucea (18, central defender from Lille), according to Foot Mercato, Le Parisien and Sacha Tavolieri. The club is capitalizing on youth to prepare for the future and strengthen the transition to the first team.
“Three new recruits for the Paris U-21 squad:
Dimitri Lucea (central defender, 18, Lille) is also in the pipeline.
Ethan Luvambano (HAC winger). A three-year professional contract.
Ilian Mhand (winger, KMSK Deinze).”
By structuring its Espoirs group, PSG confirms its desire to build a competitive breeding ground capable of competing with the best European academies. The arrival of Ethan Luvambano, scorer of five goals for Le Havre U19s this season, illustrates this ambition: the Parisian club has offered him his first three-year professional contract, a symbol of confidence and long-term investment.
Alongside him, Ilian Mhand, a winger trained at Deinze, and Dimitri Lucea, a central defender who played in the Youth League with Lille, have added to a young squad that is already well-versed in the demands of top-level football.
The aim of this targeted recruitment policy is to give talented players regular exposure to senior opposition, while allowing them to hone their skills before joining the professional squad, in the case of the best performers. In this way, PSG ensures a smooth transition between training and the elite, while anticipating the future needs of its first team.
