Mukiele came through the academy system in France

Mukiele

The Frenchman started life in Paris FC’s youth ranks before his talent was spotted by Ligue Two side Stade Lavallois. He made his debut as a centre-back in a 1-1 draw against Auxerre in November 2014 only a few weeks after his 17th birthday.

Following his breakthrough into the first team during the 2015/16 season, Mukiele’s performances came to the attention of a number of top-flight teams before he made the switch to Montpellier in the 2017 January transfer window.
