Homegrown PSG centre-back whose aggression and athleticism made him a key figure in their domestic dominance.
Presnel Kimpembe was born in Beaumont-sur-Oise, France on 13 August 1995. A product of PSG's academy, he broke into the first team and became a regular starter. His pace, power, aggression and ball-carrying ability from the back made him a modern centre-back. He won multiple Ligue 1 titles and reached the Champions League final in 2020. He earned 28 caps for France and was part of the 2022 World Cup squad. A serious Achilles injury in 2023 has sidelined him for an extended period.
