The Frenchman started his career with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) at the age of ten, working his way through the Academy in the French capital. Aged just 16, the forward made his debut for the under-19 squad in the UEFA Youth League. He made his official first team debut in 2020, signing a contract extension with the 13-time French champions the same year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWhen I heard about the interest from Forest, I was honoured. This is a proud moment for me, joining a team that had a strong season last year and a Club with great history.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019m ready for the challenge, and I arrive here with good experience. I had a good season last year with goals and assists, but I want more and want to reach a new level here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI can\u2019t wait to play in the Premier League, and to play at the City Ground. I watched games from last season, and it\u2019s clear that the fans create a beautiful atmosphere. I'm excited to see them and impatient to get started,\" said Kalimuendo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After enjoying two successful loan spells at Lens, where he netted 21 times in 65 appearances, Kalimuendo ended his ten-year association with PSG, moving to Brittany to sign for Rennes in August 2022. Kalimuendo played in the Europa League in his first two seasons for the Ligue 1 side and has gone on to play over 100 times, scoring 40 goals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Operating primarily as a centre-forward but with the ability to stretch defenders and play out wide, Kalimuendo is an agile forward who arrives on Trentside after his best goalscoring season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
