Mika Godts thrilled after PSG move: « It’s the best club in the world »

Hardly had he arrived at Paris Saint-Germain when Mika Godts, the 21-year-old Belgian forward for the Parisian club, shared his first words with the official PSG website. Delighted to join “the best club in the world”, the former Ajax player has already laid out his ambitions, his attacking profile, and his desire to win trophies.

Godts: “I’m very happy to be here”

Mika, welcome to Paris Saint-Germain. How do you feel, and what does it mean to you to be a PSG player? “I’m very happy to be here, and I’d like to thank President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, Luis Campos, and Luis Enrique. They showed me that they wanted me here at Paris Saint-Germain. And I’m very happy to be able to work with them. When PSG called me, I was happy! It’s the best club in the world. It’s a real joy!” What do you think you can bring to the team? “I’m a player who can score goals and provide assists. And I’m very happy to be able to do that here, at this incredible club, Paris Saint-Germain. It’s an opportunity for me to play my football at the highest level.” Did you follow PSG’s run during their recent European campaigns? “I watched all the matches. It’s a very strong team, the players really play together, and I can’t wait to be part of this team and develop alongside these great players.”

Beyond the expected enthusiasm of a player presentation, Godts stresses the involvement of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, Luis Campos, and Luis Enrique. That detail gives a clear reading of his signing: the Belgian arrives with the backing of the entire sporting structure. His admiration for the Parisian collective also matters. He is not discovering the project at the last minute and knows he is joining a team where individual talent must constantly serve the collective game.

Godts: “The most important thing for me is to help the team”

What kind of player are you, how would you describe yourself? “I’m a player who likes to dribble. That’s one of my main qualities. I’m an attacking player who likes to score and provide assists. But the most important thing for me is to help the team, keep the right mindset, and make the fans happy. And in everyday life, I’m someone calm, close to my family.”

PSG are adding a forward capable of taking players on, creating imbalances, and producing in the final third. His 17 goals and 15 assists in 44 appearances for Ajax in 2025-2026 illustrate that progress. His challenge now will be to maintain that efficiency against stronger competition and in a more demanding tactical framework. By putting the team ahead of his individual qualities, Godts already shows that he understands dribbling alone guarantees no place under Luis Enrique.

Godts: “And win lots of trophies!”

What are your goals, collectively and individually, now that you are red and blue? “PSG are two-time European champions. I’m coming here with the aim of becoming stronger every day, showing my talent, and progressing and learning alongside the great players in this team. And winning lots of trophies!” Do you have a message for the PSG supporters? “I’m so happy to be here and to be able to play for them. PSG are a great club, and the supporters are fantastic. I can’t wait to play at the Parc des Princes and meet them.”

Godts places his personal development as an extension of PSG’s collective ambitions. It is the right balance for a 21-year-old signing: not hiding behind the role of an apprentice, without claiming to arrive as an established starter. The competition will force him to earn his minutes, but the Paris environment should also accelerate his learning. His message to the supporters rounds off a simple, enthusiastic arrival speech already focused on the pitch.
