Norvin Mukiele: Les Sables VF sign French-Congolese striker on free transfer from Versailles B

Les Sables Vendee Football have completed the signing of centre-forward Norvin Mukiele from FC Versailles 78 B on a free transfer.

Mukiele, 25, joins the French club after a short spell with Versailles reserve side, which he joined in July 2024. The move keeps the forward in French football and sees him remain at senior level after a series of recent switches across France, Germany and Italy.

Standing at 1.91m, Mukiele adds significant physical presence to Les Sables attacking options. Born on 16 February 2001, he holds both French and DR Congolese nationality and is registered primarily as a centre-forward, operating through the middle of the attack.

Mukiele has experienced a notably itinerant early career, moving between several clubs and countries over the past few seasons. Before his time at Versailles B, he played for Paris FC B after joining them in January 2024. That spell followed a period in Germany with SV 1910 Neuhof, which he joined from Nimes Olympique B in January 2023.

Earlier in his development, Mukiele spent time in Italy with Torinos Primavera side before moving to FC Messina in August 2020. During his time at Messina, his market value was assessed at 25,000, but this later fell to zero during his stint with Neuhof, underlining the fluctuating nature of his early professional trajectory.

Mukiele has also twice found himself without a club, in 2021 and 2023, before re-entering the system with Nimes B and later Paris FC B. His arrival at Les Sables therefore marks the latest step in a career that has already taken in youth and senior football across three European countries.

The free transfer is effective from 6 July 2026, confirming Mukiele as a Les Sables VF player for the 202627 season.
