Timothee Joseph Pembele (born 9 September 2002) is a French professional footballer who plays as a defender for Ligue 1 club Bordeaux, on loan from Paris Saint-Germain.

Club Career

Paris Saint-Germain

Pembele joined the Paris Saint-Germain Academy in 2015, having spent the previous seven years of his early career at US Persan 03. On 4 July 2018, at the age of 15, he signed his first professional contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), tying him to the club until 30 June 2021.

2020–21: Debut season

On 28 November 2020, Pembele made his professional debut in a 2–2 Ligue 1 draw against Bordeaux, starting as a right center-back in a pairing with Presnel Kimpembe. Despite scoring an own goal at the tenth minute of the match, Pembele's performance was regarded by most observers as a very promising one. He made good use of his speed and vision in defense, recovering the ball on several occasions, and helped his team move forward in attack with several successful vertical passes. At one point in the match, he dribbled a distance of 40 meters with the ball, leading to a corner for PSG.

On 4 December 2020, Pembele extended his contract with PSG to 2024. He made his UEFA Champions League debut five days later, coming on as a substitute for Alessandro Florenzi in a 5–1 win against Istanbul Basaksehir. Pembele’s first goal for Paris Saint-Germain came in a 4–0 victory over Strasbourg on 23 December.

2021–22: Loan to Bordeaux

On 10 August 2021, Pembele joined Bordeaux on a season-long loan with an option-to-buy. He scored in his debut match, a 2–2 league draw against Marseille.
