Youngster Presnel Kimpembe signs professional Paris Saint-Germain contract

Paris Saint-Germain have tied defender Presnel Kimpembe down to a professional contract.

The 19-year-old has been a part of the academy at Parc des Princes since the age of 15.

However, having impressed head coach Laurent Blanc and his coaching staff, the DR Congo international has been handed terms until the summer of 2018.

"Paris Saint-Germain is the perfect club for a young player. I will be working and improving with great players in one of the most ambitious projects in Europe. I want to build my career at Paris Saint-Germain," he told the club's official website.

Kimpembe made his Ligue 1 debut during PSG's 3-1 victory away at Lens earlier this season.
