French club Paris Saint-Germain announced that they signed Bayern Munich defender Lucas Hernandez on Sunday; the club's fifth signing this week. "Paris Saint-Germain is delighted to announce the signing of Lucas Hernandez. The French international defender has signed a five-year contract with the Club," read PSG's statement. Lucas Hernandez is regarded as one of the best full-backs of the current generation; his status was further elevated as he played a key role in Didier Deschamps' side's triumph in the World Cup 2018.
The left-footed defender started every match at the World Cup and ended the tournament with two assists in France's crucial encounters. The first one came in the Round of 16 win over Argentina (4-3) while the second one was in the final against Croatia (4-2).
PSG statement continued: “He is 27 years old, and he is older than his brother Theo Hernandez. He has now participated in 33 matches with the French national team, and expanded his list of choices by winning the Nations League in 2021.”
Hernandez is the fifth deal for Paris this summer after Skriniar, Asensio, Ugarte, and Kang En Lee.
