The Ukrainian defender has alternated between good and bad since his arrival in the French capital and is struggling to assert himself within the Parisian defense. The former Bournemouth player has had mixed performances and some already see him as a future flop.

However, for the journalist Canal + Jean-Luc Arribart, the 23-year-old player will eventually establish himself in the Parisian defense where he will be a captain. For him, he is of the caliber of Ibrahima Konaté. “There are players who take longer to reveal their potential and their qualities in a new club. I continue to say that Zabarnyi is a defender at heart, solid, very tough in duels, who does not panic and reliable in the aerial game,” he initially said during an interview for the newspaper Le Parisien.
Before continuing: “I maintain that he is in the same vein as very good defenders like Ibrahima Konaté. I remain confident he can replicate what I saw him do at Bournemouth. He is a good defender, even more so in a dominant team like PSG. »
The Parisian board not worried by its performance
Illya Zabarnyi has shown signs of excitement since his arrival at PSG despite some good performances against FC Barcelona and Olympique de Marseille. His performances, however, did not worry the Parisian management who expected him to be in difficulty for his debut.
The Ukrainian not only has to manage a new environment, another language and instructions that are very different from those he managed to assimilate quickly in the Premier League. What is certain is that Luis Enrique will continue to place his trust in him.
