Koleosho scores for Paris FC: Italian talent shines in France
Bought outright from Burnley for €14m, the left-winger scores his first Ligue 1 goal and confirms his good form. Baldini already gave him his Italy debut, and Mancini continues to monitor him closely.
Luca Koleosho continues to impress with Paris FC. Following his permanent transfer from Burnley for €14 million—a deal that spurned interest from Monza, Genoa, and Fiorentina—the young forward has netted his first Ligue 1 goal against Lens, marking a step forward compared to last season's three goals and one assist across 18 total appearances.
Deployed as a left-sided winger in manager Rosenior's 4-2-3-1 setup, the 2004-born talent has accumulated eight consecutive starts in the league, demonstrating consistency and progression. His assist in the clash against Marseille—a match in which he operated deeper on the midfield line—highlights his tactical versatility.
Italy's attention is unmissable. Baldini handed him his senior debut during his interim spell, awarding him a full 90 minutes against Luxembourg and substantial playing time against Greece. Mancini and his staff keep close watch on his development, though Koleosho continues his growth trajectory away from Serie A's spotlight.
