Ilyes Housni was born in Créteil, Île-de-France,[2][3] he played with several clubs of the region, from the Lusitanos in his home town to Aubervilliers,[4] including spells at Paris FC and in Joinville-le-Pont.[2]
He entered the PSG academy in 2019, soon becoming a great prospect of the club, along players such as Ismaël Gharbi.[4][5]
Housni first made headlines with Paris as an under-19 on 1st October 2022, scoring a double hat-trick against Reims in the Championnat National, as his side won it 9–0 at home.[2][6] Four days later, he proved to be also decisive in the Youth League, scoring the only goal of a 1–0 away win to Benfica, against a side that included most of the players that won the previous edition.[7][3]
Eligible for the Morocco national team through his origins, Ilyes Housni is a youth international for France, having played with the French U17 since August 2021.[8]
In September 2022, he played the Tournoi de Limoges with France under-18s, scoring goals against Scotland[9] and Poland.[10]
An offensive-minded player, Ilyes Housni is able to play in most positions of the attack, mainly playing as a centre-forward or a left-winger, during his time at the PSG academy.[5]
From an early age, he has been described as a player with great pace and execution, a smart forward good at attacking spaces and the depth of the field.[2][5]
Pas vraiment une surprise. Plus une confirmation. « Physiquement, il n'était pas le plus aguerri, mais il avait déjà cette intelligence dans les déplacements, de la précision et une grande rapidité d'exécution », note Samy Guenfoud, qui l'a entraîné à Joinville des U 9 aux U 11, puis à la Jeunesse d'Aubervilliers avant son entrée au PSG en 2019.
