Club career edit

Born in Libreville, Gabon,[2][3][4][5] Noha Lemina first played football at La Garenne-Colombes, Île-de-France, before entering Paris Saint-Germain's subsidiaries as early as 2014.[2][6][7][8] He officially joined the PSG academy in 2018,[9] where he would sign an aspirant contract two years later.[10][11][12]

Discovering the Youth League as soon as 2021,[4] Lemina established himself as a standout with PSG under-19s the following year,[13] signing his first professional contract with the club in October 2022.[4][5][7][8][14]

During the summer 2023, after replacing Kang-in Lee during a 2–0 friendly win to Le Havre,[15][16] Lemina started the following friendly against Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr. The only player left on the field for the entirety of the game by newly arrived coach Luis Enrique, the young winger was identified by most media as the best player of that star-studded team, in the absence of Kylian Mbappé.[3][17][18][19][20][21][22]

On 24 August 2023, Lemina joined Serie B club Sampdoria on a season-long loan.[23] On 31 January 2024, he joined Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers on loan until the end of the season.[24] The deal reportedly included a €1 million purchase option unilaterally exercisable by Lemina himself, with PSG retaining a 25% sell-on clause in the case of a sale.[25][26]
