Club career

edit

Early career

edit

També started playing football in the streets of Villepinte, a city in the Île-de-France region. After playing for local side Villepinte FC, he joined Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2002.[citation needed] In the Paris Saint-Germain Academy, he established himself as a leader of his generation, being a captain from under-11 to under-17 level, while having teammates such as Chris Mavinga, Loïck Landre and Gianelli Imbula.[citation needed]

Paris Saint-Germain

edit

During the 2008–09 season, També signed a three-year professional deal with PSG, and became at the time the youngest player to sign a professional contract for the club.[citation needed] També said "It means a lot for me to sign my first contract with Paris Saint-Germain. It's also great that the club is looking after their youth players. To sign at just 17 years of age a pro contract is simply fantastic, my dream came true but it's only the start for me. I have to keep on working and continue my development."[2] Across three seasons, També went on to make 44 appearances for Paris Saint-Germain's reserve side in the Championnat de France Amateur (CFA).[citation needed] He never made a professional appearance for the club's first team.[citation needed]

Kortrijk

edit

In January 2012, També signed for Belgian club Kortrijk.[3] He made his debut for the club on 4 February 2012.[citation needed] També played and started most of the games during the second half of the 2011–12 season, helping his to reach the 2012 Belgian Cup Final against Lokeren, where they lost 1–0 at the King Baudouin Stadium.[citation needed]

Genoa and Tondela

edit

In February 2015, També signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with Genoa.[4] On 13 July 2016, he joined Primeira Liga team Tondela on a one-year deal.[5]
