Patrick Zabi’s emergence at Paris FC has continued at pace, with the 20-year-old Ivory Coast midfielder making an early impression in Ligue 1 and earning his first international appearance.
Zabi joined Stade de Reims in 2025 from Ivoire FC and quickly progressed through the club before moving to Paris FC this summer. His technical ability and potential have made him one of the most closely watched young players in French football.
His performances have also impressed his team-mates. Pierre Lees-Melou spoke particularly highly of the young Paris FC midfielder during an appearance on RMC’s Generation After programme.
Zabi has featured in four Ligue 1 matches for Paris FC this season and has provided one assist. His progress has extended to the international stage, with the midfielder making his debut for Cote d’Ivoire in the match against Somalia.
His rapid development has attracted increasing attention. Zabi’s ability to break defensive lines, combined with his technical qualities and room for further improvement, has strengthened his reputation as one of the promising young players in the French game.
According to Transfermarkt, Zabi is currently valued at 20 million euros. That figure is expected to change as he continues to build experience and deliver strong performances for club and country.
Paris FC’s next Ligue 1 fixture is against FC Lorient in the sixth round of the French championship. Betting company 1xbet lists Paris FC at 2.48 to win, with a draw priced at 3.51 and a victory for FC Lorient at 3.04.
