Arnaud Kalimuendo Muinga (born 20 January 2002) is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Ligue 1 club RC Lens, on loan from Paris Saint-Germain.[1]

Club career

Paris Saint-Germain

Born in Suresnes, Kalimuendo joined Paris Saint-Germain from FC Saint Cloud in July 2012. There he debuted with the under-19 squad in the UEFA Youth League, aged only 16, under the direction of Thiago Motta, becoming one of the leaders of the youth sides.[2]

Kalimuendo signed his first professional contract with the club on 8 July 2019, a deal that was set to expire on 30 June 2022.[3] On 10 September 2020, Kalimuendo made his official debut for Paris Saint-Germain in a 1–0 loss against Lens.[4]

Loan to Lens

On 5 October 2020, Kalimuendo signed a contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain until June 2024, and joined Lens on a season-long loan deal.[5] He made his debut in a 4–0 loss to rivals Lille on 18 October,[6] and scored his first goal in a 1–0 win against Dijon on 22 November.[7] His third goal for Lens came on 5 December in a 2–0 victory against Rennes. By scoring his third goal for the club, he became the first Lens player in 70 years to score in his first three games as a starter in Ligue 1.[8]

International career

Born in France, Kalimuendo is of Congolese descent.[9] He finished third place with France at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Brazil in 2019, scoring a hat-trick in the third place play-off to beat the Netherlands by a score of 3–1.[10]
