Senegal forward Mbaye joins Aston Villa from PSG
Ibrahim Mbaye, an 18-year-old Senegalese forward, has moved from Paris St Germain to Premier League side Aston Villa on a permanent deal, according to both clubs on Tuesday. The young talent left PSG after spending eight years at the club, initially joining their academy at the age of 10. Mbaye made history as the youngest player to start a Ligue 1 match for PSG, facing Le Havre in 2024 at the tender age of 16 years, 6 months, and 23 days.
He made his debut in Ligue 1 during the 2024 season and secured eight trophies, including two Champions League titles and two Ligue 1 championships. Mbaye changed his international allegiance from France to Senegal in 2025, having previously represented France at the youth level. He has earned 15 caps and scored four goals for Senegal, notably netting against France during the 2025 World Cup.
