Pablo Pagis
LOR
Scores three in two friendlies
Pagis scored three goals in two preseason friendlies against Reims and Como, quickly integrating into his new team under new coach Liam Rosenior.
Analysis: Pagis is showing early signs of picking up right where he left off after scoring 10 goals with five assists in 28 Ligue 1 appearances last season, when he played a key role as Lorient finished 10th in the table. His hot start suggests he could keep a regular role in the attack and replicate that level of production for Paris FC, giving the club an early boost of confidence in the forward following his move from Lorient this summer.
Signs with Paris FC
Pagis has signed with Paris FC from Lorient through 2031, according to his new club.
Analysis: Pagis scored 10 goals with five assists in Ligue 1 last season, playing a key role as Lorient finished 10th in the table. He came through Rennes' academy before joining Lorient in 2018, signing his first professional contract in 2021, and helped the club win the Ligue 2 title in 2024/25 following loan spells at Nimes and Stade Lavallois. The move to Paris FC gives the 23 year old forward a fresh platform to continue his development as he looks to take the next step in his career.
Takes three shots in loss
Pagis had three shots (one on target), sent in four inaccurate crosses and drew four fouls during Sunday's 2-0 loss against Le Havre.
Analysis: Pagis returned to the lineup after assisting twice off the bench in the previous game and was quite active once again but this time this didn't translate into his team finding the back of the net. Despite his team finishing the campaign in a mid-table position, the attacker was mostly impressive with 10 goals and five assists and, given his young age, should attract a lot of suitors wanting his services for next season.
Excellent off bench
Pagis assisted twice to go with three crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 4-0 victory over Metz.
Analysis: For the first time since Jan. 24, Pagis logged a reserve appearance, when he scored a goal. Even though it would be difficult for him to surpass his previous reserve appearance, the attacking midfielder did just by logging his fourth and fifth assists for not only this season but also across Lorient's last 10 games, three of which he sat out.
Scores one goal in draw
Pagis scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Paris Saint-Germain.
Analysis: Pagis played a key role in Saturday's 2-2 draw at Parc des Princes, equalizing in the first half just six minutes after Lorient fell behind by converting Panos Katseris's simple ball into the area with a composed side-footed volley that gave his side immediate impetus and forced the hosts to reassess their approach. The French forward remained involved as a creative outlet before being replaced in the second half as Lorient sought fresh legs to chase the game after falling behind again. Pagis has now scored 10 Ligue 1 goals this season across 26 appearances, consistently operating as Lorient's most clinical finisher in a campaign that has seen them comfortably avoid relegation.
Scores from spot
Pagis scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), eight crosses (five accurate) and eight corners in Sunday's 3-2 defeat versus Strasbourg.
Analysis: Pagis delivered another impressive offensive night, leading his side in both chances created and shots with four and three respectively and converting one of those efforts from the spot to add his ninth goal of the campaign. The forward is in exceptional form, with that strike making it six goal contributions in his last seven games, a run in which he has taken 20 shots for three goals and created 23 chances for three assists.
