WHAT HAPPENED?
Ethan has secured a three-year contract at Lille after he decided to leave the Parisian club. This transfer marks a significant milestone for Ethan, who is stepping into his first professional contract and elder brother Kylian expressed his heartfelt congratulations ahead of the fresh start.
WHAT KYLIAN SAID
In a message on Instagram, Kylian wrote, “Congratulations on your first pro contract. The beginning of a great adventure in a great club, all the best to you and your team. I’m your number one supporter. The hardest is just starting but you will get there. Watching Madrid-Lille flights now haha… Force petit reuf. BIG LOVE 👑❤️”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Ethan’s journey at PSG was primarily spent in the age group teams, where he played on a youth contract and featured only five times for the senior team. This move to Lille provides him with a fresh opportunity to develop his skills and gain valuable playing experience at the highest level. He is set to don the No. 29 jersey for his new club.
WHAT NEXT?
As Ethan embarks on this new chapter, the challenges ahead are numerous. Integrating into a new team, adapting to a higher level of competition, and living up to the expectations set by his last name are just a few. He will hope to impress coach Bruno Genesio at Stade Pierre-Mauroy when the pre-season friendlies kick off against Deinze on July 9.
