El Chadaille Bitshiabu

El Chadaille Bitshiabu is a French centre-back born in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges on 16 May 2005. He joined Paris Saint-Germain’s academy in 2017 and progressed into the club’s senior team. Bitshiabu made his PSG debut in the Coupe de France in December 2021, becoming the club’s youngest player at that time. He made his Ligue 1 debut in April 2022 and later earned a first start as a left-back. He also featured in the Champions League against Bayern Munich in March 2023. In July 2023, Bitshiabu transferred to RB Leipzig, although a knee medial ligament tear delayed his start in Germany. He made his Leipzig debut in February 2024 and remains part of the first-team squad. At 1.96 metres, he combines aerial power, recovery ability and progressive passing with the versatility to cover at left-back, while representing France at youth level.
