Lucas Chevalier went from being one of France’s most exciting young goalkeepers to warming the bench at Paris Saint-Germain in less than a year. Now two clubs from very different corners of European football want to change that.
Besiktas and Tottenham Hotspur have both enquired about the 24-year-old, according to L’Équipe. The interest comes as Chevalier finds himself stuck behind Matvey Safonov in PSG’s pecking order, a situation that apparently doesn’t sit well with a player who joined the club expecting to be the guy between the posts.
From Lille star to PSG backup
PSG signed Chevalier from Lille in August 2025 for a reported base fee of €40 million plus bonuses. At the time, it looked like a statement signing. Here was a homegrown French talent, born November 6, 2001, locking into a contract through June 2030 at one of Europe’s richest clubs.
The reality has been less glamorous. Safonov’s rise through the PSG squad has pushed Chevalier into a secondary role, and the number 30 jersey hasn’t carried the weight anyone expected it would.
