The departure of Jocelyn Prêcheur from PSG should lead to that of Tabitha Chawinga. As announced by Le Parisien and by RMC, the Malawian striker, on loan from the Chinese club Wuhan where she reaches the end of her contract in December, is very close to signing up with OL. “It’s 99% done,” someone familiar with the matter confirmed to us. Barring a last minute turnaround, D1 Arkema’s top scorer (18 goals) will therefore join the French champions.
A year after losing Kadidiatou Diani, who also left for OL, Paris suffered another hard blow on the transfer market. In 2023-2024, Chawinga (28 years old) scored 32 goals in 36 matches played with the capital club, which earned her the title of best player of the season during the D1 Arkema trophies and those of the UNFP. His stats also proved his good integration into the Parisian collective. “She is a very important player for us, she integrated very quickly,” said her teammate Grace Geyoro, for example. It’s her first season but it feels like she’s been with us for a long time. »
She dreams of winning the C1
Chawinga is therefore not going to stay forever in Paris, where she found Jocelyn Prêcheur – and her father Gérard, who left last September – after a first joint experience in China at Jiangsu FC, in 2018. “I realized my dream of play the Champions League, against big teams, she explained to L’Équipe last January. Here, at PSG, I found good people, I found Gérard, Jocelyn. For me, I’m in the right place, with good people, people who appreciate me. Now I dream of winning the C1. » It will now potentially be in new colors.
