Paris Saint-Germain have announced Presnel Kimpembe has put pen to paper on a new five-year deal keeping him at the club until at least 2021.
Kimpembe, who is a product of the PSG academy, has already been afforded more first team opportunities under Unai Emery this season.
The France U21 international, who was earned his first senior call up earlier in the season, has now extended his stay as PSG secure his long-term future.
“Extending my contract with the club where I learned my trade brings me a lot of joy,” Kimpembe told the club’s official website. “I’ve been here since I was really little, so this extension means a lot to me.
“It’s a huge step forward. I’m really happy! My call-up to the France squad and this extension are two dreams come true. But it’s just the beginning. I need to keep working hard to achieve my objective.
“I think I’m the one who has been at the club the longest; I arrived when I was eight years old! So this new deal makes me really happy, but I think I still have many things to accomplish here.”
Of players aged 21 and under in Europe’s big five leagues to have started more than six league games this season, only three have a better pass success rate than Kimpembe (90.7%).
