Dan-Axel Zagadou

We hope he isn't riding that scooter without a helmet. That would be bad. What's inside that Balenciaga bag gent?

The saying - the grass is always greener on the other side is not always true, and we think PSG have made a colossal mistake by letting this HULK of a defender leave their ranks and join Borussia Dortmund in 2017. The Parisien club's loss is, definitely, Dortmund's gain because this French U-20 international is a monster. He's very good at reading the game, isn't afraid of going into tackles, and distributes the ball rather decently from the back. He is very disciplined with his marking and is a composed player- traits that are of utter importance to any defender. He's also a good header of the ball, but his age means he's not as experienced, and that could be the reason why he loses focus from time to time. This is not a major flaw, and it should correct itself in due course. Born in France in 1999, this 20-year-old's family comes from the Ivory Coast. He started playing football with US Créteil, but signed up for PSG in 2011. He was only twelve at that time. It's beyond our understanding as to how they could let him slip by the cracks only six years later. He signed with BVB, for free too, and has now become a regular in the first team. At the international scene, he has played for France at every level from the Under-16's onwards. We can safely say that both Dortmund's and France's futures at the back are looking good.
