Paris Saint-Germain

[edit]

An academy graduate of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Nianzou made his professional debut on 7 December 2019 in a 3–1 league win against Montpellier.[5] A few days later, he played in his first UEFA Champions League match as PSG were victorious 5–0 over Galatasaray.[6]

Nianzou scored his first goal in a 3–0 Coupe de France win against Reims on 22 January 2020.[7] This goal he scored was the 4,000th goal in PSG's history.[8] He scored his first two Ligue 1 goals in an away game that ended in a 4–4 draw against Amiens on 15 February 2020.[9] On 11 March, Nianzou played his final match for PSG, a 2–0 UEFA Champions League victory over Borussia Dortmund. He left the Parisian club upon the expiration of his contract, and signed for Bayern Munich on a free transfer.[10]

Bayern Munich

[edit]

On 1 July 2020, Bundesliga club Bayern Munich announced the signing of Nianzou on a four-year deal.[11] He made his debut in a 3–1 league win against VfB Stuttgart on 28 November.[12] On 12 December, Nianzou suffered a muscle injury, and was ruled out for one to two months. The injury was lingering from a previous injury that occurred at the beginning of the 2020–21 season.[13] His return proved to come later than expected, as he appeared as a substitute in a 1–1 draw to Union Berlin on 10 April 2021.[14] On 19 March 2022, he scored his only goal at the club in a 4–0 win over Union Berlin.[15]

Sevilla

On 17 August 2022, Nianzou signed a five-year contract with Spanish club Sevilla.[16] Two days later, Nianzou made his debut against Real Valladolid.[17] On 11 October, he scored his first Champions League goal in a 1–1 away draw against Borussia Dortmund.[18] On 14 January 2023, he scored his first La Liga goal in a 2–1 away defeat against Girona.[19]

Lille

[edit]

On 18 July 2026, Nianzou returned to France and signed a two-year contract with Lille.[20]

International career

[edit]

Nianzou is a French youth international. He was part of French squad which reached semi-finals in 2019 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[citation needed]

He was an important part of the French team which finished third at the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup. He started all seven of France's matches in the tournament and scored the equaliser in his team's 6–1 quarter-final win against Spain.[21]
