In 2021, he signed his first professional contract and made his debut for the main team in the Europa League, immediately contributing with a goal involvement. The breakthrough came in the 2022–23 season — he became one of Lyon's attacking leaders, regularly creating chances and standing out with his speed and dribbling.

  • became one of the top assist providers in Ligue 1
