Ilan Kebbal is making his ambitions crystal clear for this Ligue 1 season with Paris FC. The Algerian international is determined to establish himself as a permanent fixture in the top tier of French football. Without mincing words, he asserts his desire to take the next step, firmly convinced he has what it takes to shine in the first division.

First brought into the spotlight during his impressive spell at Stade de Reims, Ilan Kebbal has never stopped improving. After regaining his form at Paris FC in Ligue 2—where he was one of the league's standout performers last season—the Franco-Algerian attacking midfielder is no longer hiding his ambitions: to return to Ligue 1 and leave his mark there.

"I want to show that I'm a good Ligue 1 player, more than just a great Ligue 2 player. I've gone through important stages. Today, I feel ready. I want to prove that my place is in Ligue 1, for the long haul," he declared recently, speaking with candor.

A strong statement that perfectly sums up the player’s mentality. With 5 goals and 7 assists in 30 matches for Paris FC during the 2024-2025 season, Kebbal was one of the driving attacking forces for a Paris FC side that secured its return to France's Ligue 1. An agile dribbler, capable of breaking lines and creating danger every time he gets on the ball, he has rediscovered the confidence and consistency that sometimes eluded him during his early Ligue 1 days. Now, his mission is to prove at the highest level what he demonstrated so brilliantly in Ligue 2.
