Luca Koleosho
PFC
Provides assist for opener
Koleosho assisted once to go with four shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 3-2 win over Marseille.
Analysis: Koleosho delivered the assist on Lassine Sinayoko's 23rd-second opener, making a clinical run down the left before finding his teammate with a precise pass that gave Paris FC an instant lead inside the opening minute of play. He registered four shots including one on goal and two chances created across 77 minutes before being replaced, consistently threatening Marseille's back line from the left flank throughout a dominant Paris FC performance.
Back available for Marseille clash
Koleosho (undisclosed) is back and will be in the group for Sunday's clash against Marseille, according to coach Liam Rosenior, per L'Equipe.
Analysis: Koleosho had suffered an injury in the season opener against Troyes that kept him out of the match against Nice, an unfortunate setback so soon after signing a permanent deal with Paris FC through 2031. His return now confirms he has recovered from that early setback, positioning him to build on the three goals and one assist he contributed during his loan spell earlier this year.
Injured in opener, ruled out vs Nice
Koleosho (undisclosed) suffered an injury in the season opener against Troyes and is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Nice, according to coach Liam Rosenior, per Le Parisien.
Analysis: Koleosho recently signed a permanent deal with Paris FC through 2031 after a productive loan spell earlier this year that saw him contribute three goals and one assist and earn a senior Italy call up. This early setback comes as an unfortunate way to begin his permanent tenure with the club, and his path back to full training will be worth monitoring as Paris FC continues its start of the season. Moses Simon is expected to see increased playing time until he returns to full speed.
Signs with Paris FC through 2031
Koleosho signed a permanent contract with Paris FC through 2031 after departing Burnley, the club announced.
Analysis: Koleosho previously spent a six month loan at Paris FC earlier this year, contributing goals and assists during a strong second half of the season that made an impact on both fans and teammates. The forward, known for his pace, power and directness, became a senior Italy international during that spell. Born in Norwalk, Connecticut and developed at Espanyol's academy, he had drawn interest from several clubs this summer given his age and potential. Koleosho is expected to add attacking depth to coach Liam Rosenior's squad after choosing to commit long term to the club.
Delivers late assist
Koleosho assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain.
Analysis: Koleosho entered the match in the second half for Willem Geubbels and immediately injected the pace and directness that proved decisive in the closing moments, outrunning Dro Fernandez on a stoppage-time counterattack after a PSG corner was cleared before squaring perfectly for Alimami Gory at the back post to complete the 2-1 comeback. The winger, who operates as a direct wide forward with explosive acceleration, needed only a few minutes on the pitch to produce the match-winning contribution. Koleosho finishes the Ligue 1 season with three goals and one assist across 16 appearances, consistently making an impact in limited minutes off the bench and ending the campaign as the decisive creative spark in Paris FC's biggest victory of the season.
Another goal off bench
Koleosho scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 4-0 win over Brest.
Analysis: In recent games, Kolesho has proven to be one of Ligue 1's best reserves, backed by two goals across his last three appearances. Considering he has played in all but one of Paris FC's last 15 games, it would not be surprising if the team uses him twice more before the Ligue 1 season comes to a close. If so, Kolesho can be a goal-scoring threat, even with his limited upside in terms of game time.
