What happens to a 20-year-old striker who needs game-time and nurturing when the club sign two of the most expensive strikers in world football? For Jean-Kevin Augustin, it meant a move to RB Leipzig for under £15 million.

The Frenchman, who graduated from the PSG academy, played over 30 times for the club, winning eight titles. However, uncertainty over the amount of game-time he would receive after the arrivals of Neymar and Mbappe led to him moving to newer pastures this summer.

PSG got decent money for the player in a department well-stocked with world-class talent. On the other hand, Leipzig acquired a talented young striker who would fit in well with their youthful squad.

Grade - 7/10
