Mika Godts faces scrutiny at PSG following high-cost transfer
Mika Godts, the 21-year-old Belgian winger signed from Ajax Amsterdam for €55 million, is struggling to secure a regular role at Paris Saint-Germain. Since his arrival, Godts has made six appearances totaling only 144 minutes, without receiving a single start.
Despite the limited playing time, PSG manager Luis Enrique has expressed praise for the player’s personality and recent performances with the Belgian national team, noting his ability to take initiative and score against Italy. Former Ajax coach Oscar Garcia has also compared Godts to PSG teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, suggesting the winger possesses superior speed.
However, some observers have raised concerns regarding his immediate impact. A European scout noted that Godts can sometimes appear less impactful and lacks efficiency in front of the goal. As the player seeks his first start, the pressure remains on him to translate his international potential into consistent club performances.
