Early career

Club career

[2] [6] Four days later, he proved to be also decisive in the UEFA Youth League, scoring the only goal of a 1–0 away win to Benfica, against a side that included most of the players that won the previous edition. [7] [3] On 21 December 2022, Housni scored his first two goals with Paris Saint-Germain's senior team in a 3–1 friendly win over Quevilly-Rouen at the Camp des Loges. [8] He signed his first professional contract with PSG on 30 December, committing to a deal until 30 June 2026. [9] On 6 January 2023, Housni made his professional debut during a 3–1 away Coupe de France win over Châteauroux, coming on as a late replacement for Carlos Soler. [10] [11] He made his Ligue 1 debut as a substitute in a 3–1 defeat away to Monaco on 11 February. [12]

On 18 September 2023, Housni was loaned out to Qatar Stars League club Al Sadd for the 2023–24 season. [13] He scored his first league goal for the club in a 9–1 victory over Al Ahli. [14]

International career

Eligible for the Morocco national team through his Moroccan nationality, Housni is a youth international for France, making his debut for the France under-17s in August 2021. [15] [16] In September 2022, he played the Tournoi de Limoges with the France under-18s, scoring goals against Scotland and Poland. [17] [18] In November 2023, he accepted a call-up to the Morocco U23s for a set of friendlies. [19] He was a substitute in a 3–0 loss to the Denmark U23s on 16 November 2023, where he ruptured his cruciate ligaments and had to leave the camp early. [20]

Style of play

An offensive-minded player, Housni is able to play in most positions of the attack, mainly playing as a centre-forward or a left-winger during his time at the PSG Academy. [5]

From an early age, he has been described as a player with great pace and execution, a smart forward good at attacking spaces and the depth of the field. [2] [5]
