Kurzawa was born in Fréjus, France.[4] He made his professional debut on 22 September 2010, soon after his 18th birthday, in a Coupe de la Ligue third round match against Lens at the Stade Louis II. He started the match and played 65 minutes before being substituted in a 1–0 victory.[5] Three days later he made his Ligue 1 debut, starting in a 1–2 defeat at Lorient. Kurzawa played four more league matches, all of them starts, as the season ended with relegation to Ligue 2; he was sent off on 1 May 2011 in a 1–1 draw at Saint-Étienne.[6] He made four appearances as they returned to the top flight at the first attempt as champions.[citation needed]

Kurzawa established himself in the first team for the 2013–14 season, with 28 league appearances as Monaco finished runner-up to Paris Saint-Germain. He also scored five goals, the first of his professional career confirming a 2–0 win at Guingamp on 14 December 2013.[7]

He scored in each leg of Monaco's 7–1 aggregate win over Young Boys in the third qualifying round of the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League.[8]

Paris Saint-Germain

edit

On 27 August 2015, Kurzawa joined Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain for €23 million on a five-year contract.[9][10] He made his debut on 11 September, coming on for Maxwell in the 67th minute of an eventual 2–2 draw with Bordeaux at the Parc des Princes.[11] He scored his first goal for the team from the capital on 25 October, opening a 4–1 home win over Saint-Étienne when set up by Marco Verratti.[12]

Kurzawa scored and assisted Javier Pastore on 6 August 2016 as PSG won the Trophée des Champions against Lyon with a 4–1 win in Klagenfurt, Austria.[13] Six days later, he recorded the team's first league goal of the new season, the game's only against Bastia.[14] On 8 March 2017, he scored an own goal in a 6–1 loss to Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League; as Unai Emery's team squandered a 4–0 advantage from the first leg.[15]

On 31 October 2017, Kurzawa scored his first career hat-trick against Anderlecht in the Champions League group phase.[16] Kurzawa became the first defender in modern Champions League history to achieve this feat in the competition.[17]

On 29 June 2020, Kurzawa signed a four-year contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain.[18] On 13 September 2020, Kurzawa was one of many players involved in a brawl in Le Classique, which resulted in five red cards. He was given a six match suspension for his actions.[19]

Loan to Fulham

edit

On 1 September 2022, Kurzawa joined Premier League side Fulham on a season-long loan.[20] Kurzawa scored his first goal for Fulham on 7 January 2023 against Hull City in the FA Cup 3rd round.[21]

Final season

edit

On 13 May 2024, he announced the end of his career with PSG after appearing in just one match throughout the 2023–24 season.[22]

International career

edit

Kurzawa was born to a Guadeloupean father,[23] and a Polish mother, and was approached to play for the Poland national team.[24][25]

He was a French youth international and has earned caps with the under-19 team.[26] On 14 October 2014, during the final leg of the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification play-offs against Sweden, Kurzawa celebrated a goal for France by mocking the Swedish players with a salute. Shortly after, Sweden scored a goal and won the game 4–1, thus eliminating France from the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.[27]

On 14 November 2014, he made his full international debut, replacing Lucas Digne for the last 20 minutes of a 1–1 friendly draw with Albania in Rennes.[28] Four days later, he made his first start, in a 1–0 friendly win over Sweden in Marseille, being substituted later on for Digne.[29]

Kurzawa scored his first international goal on 1 September 2016, concluding a 3–1 friendly win over Italy at the Stadio San Nicola in Bari.[30]
