AS Monaco have completed the signing of Aymen Assab (17). The midfielder joins on a free transfer after he opted against signing a first professional contract at formative club Paris Saint-Germain.
Assab did not make a first-team appearance for Les Parisiens, but he is very highly rated thanks to his performances at youth level. He notably impressed in the UEFA Youth League last season, whilst he also won the U19 league and the Coupe Gambardella.
Assab to train with Monaco’s first team following arrival
Upon announcing Assab’s signing on Monday, the Principality club confirmed that the midfielder would initially train with the first team. He will be observed by new Monaco manager Filipe Luis, whose arrival at the club was also officialised on Monday. He will participate in his first session with the pros on Wednesday.
The duration of the France U18 international’s contract with Les Monégasques has not been revealed.
