El Chadaille Bitshiabu (born 16 May 2005) is a French professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain.[2]

Club career

Bitshiabu is a former youth player of US Saint-Denis and Boulogne-Billancourt. He joined the Paris Saint-Germain Academy in 2017.[3] He caught attention of the media during a friendly tournament later that year due to his exceptional height at that age.[4]
