Club career

Paris Saint-Germain

Nlundulu first began his footballing career in his hometown with Paris Saint-Germain. By age 16 however, he was ready to move on and sign professional terms with a team away from Paris as PSG were only willing to offer a trainee contract.[2]

Aris

He did not make any appearances during the first part of the season, but in the second part of the season he was one of Aris's most important players, scoring 5 goals in 11 games. He became a fan favorite due to him scoring wonderful goals. He re-signed with Aris on 5 November. N'Lundulu scored an amazing goal from outside the box in a 3–1 win over Apollon Kalamaria.
