Blauw-Zwart has bolstered its squad with the signings of Samba Coulibaly and Elijah Ly. The two 18-year-old players are transferring from Paris Saint-Germain and have signed contracts with Club through 2030. The close friends, who have known each other since they were five, will begin the season training with the first team.
Samba Coulibaly is a French-Maliancenterback who played for Paris Saint-Germain’s U19 team last season. The 18-year-old came up through the youth academy at FC Épinay and made the move to PSG during the 2021–2022 season, where he progressed through the various youth teams and eventually became a regular on the U19 squad. In May 2026, Coulibaly was also called up to PSG’s first team, where he was part of the matchday squad for a league game. Last season, he made 27 appearances across all competitions, including eight appearances in the UEFA Youth League.
Elijah Ly (18) is a French-Senegalese winger who is also joining from Paris Saint-Germain. Last season, he played 19 matches for the U19 team, scoring four goals. Ly came up through the youth systems at FC Franconville and AF Épinay before joining PSG in 2021. He also made his mark at the European level: in the UEFA Youth League (2025–2026), he appeared in five matches, scoring three goals and providing one assist. He scored one of those goals in the semifinal against Real Madrid U19, which was played immediately after the match between Club NXT U19 and Benfica U19 in Lausanne.
Both players are now making the move to Blauw-Zwart, where they have signed contracts through 2030. Welcome to Club, Samba and Elijah!
