Désiré Doué ‘disappointed’ and ‘frustrated’ by start to life at PSG

The performances of Désiré Doué (19) at Stade Rennais hinted at a bright future and earned him a big-money transfer to Paris Saint-Germain this summer. However, after the €50 million move to the Parc des Princes, things have yet to go according to plan.

Despite making 12 appearances in all competitions, he has contributed just one goal, an assist in Ligue 1, while making just three starts in all competitions. Doué is subject to significant competition in midfield, with the likes of Joao Neves, Fabián Ruiz, Vitinha, Warren Zaire-Emery and Lee Kang-in all to contend with.

So far, and it is still very early days for the French youth international, he has yet to live up to expectations at PSG. Within this context, Doué is “disappointed” and “frustrated” by how things have gone so far at PSG, according to L'Équipe. However, the club is not concerned about the situation, with manager Luis Enrique seeing the midfielder as a great player for the future.
