signed him on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy for €35 million (£30 million; $41 million at current rates).

With limited chances, his confidence took a hit, and his performances suffered. He finished the Ligue 1 season with only three goals from 25 appearances. In January 2024, he joined Frankfurt on loan, and since then, his development has taken off.

The former France Under-21 international scored 22 goals in all competitions last season, including 15 in the Bundesliga and now will look to translate this production to the Premier League.
