Mercedes G-Wagon


G-Wagon on steroids. The 21-year old French midfielder likes to take a personal approach when it comes to his motor vehicles; here is his love child with Mercedes' G-Wagon.

Born in Paris, France, the majority of his youth career was split between AS Marolles and Paris Saint-Germain between 2003-2015. The Frenchman made his professional debut on 8 December 2015, featuring as a late substitute in a 2-0 win against Ukrainian opposition Shakhtar Donetsk in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League.

On 7 January 2017, he scored his first professional goal to give PSG a 1-0 victory over Bastia in the Coupe de France. Over the course of his tenure at Paris Saint-Germain, the midfielder made 78 appearances across all competitions, scoring 11 goals and providing 4 assists; he also picked up winners medal for every available trophy in France’s domestic league, Ligue 1, Coupe de France, Coupe de la LIgue and Trophée des Champions. In the summer of 2019, due to a lack of opportunities as a starter with PSG, he moved to Germany to sign for Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig on a five-year deal. On 8 August 2019, the Frenchman made his debut for RB Leipzig, scoring with his first touch after coming on to the field of play as a substitute in a 4-0 hammering of Union Berlin.
