PSG sign Bournemouth centre-back Illia Zabarnyi

The 22-year-old Ukrainian joins the reigning Champions League holders after a highly successful spell on England's south coast.

Signed by Bournemouth in January 2023 from Dynamo Kyiv, Zabarnyi quickly became a cornerstone of the Cherries' defence, amassing 86 appearances in all competitions.

His consistency was unmatched, missing only one league match in the 2023/24 campaign under manager Andoni Iraola.

During his time at the Vitality Stadium, Zabarnyi played a pivotal role in helping Bournemouth achieve back-to-back record-breaking Premier League finishes, breaking the club's points record in consecutive seasons.

His performances earned him the Supporters' Player of the Season award for 2023/24, cementing his status as a fan favourite.

Now, Zabarnyi embarks on the next chapter of his career with PSG, where he will join a squad brimming with talent as they prepare to defend both their domestic and European crowns.

With the Ligue 1 season set to begin this weekend, his arrival is expected to further strengthen a defence already boasting some of the world's best players.
