Early life

Cho was born in France to an Ivorian father and a French mother of Moroccan origins and moved to England at one week old, where his family worked in London.[2] He spent his childhood moving between England and France several times. Cho briefly returned to France at age 6 to play in Chantilly's and then Paris Saint-Germain's academy, before returning to England at age 11.[3]

Club career

Angers

A youth product of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Everton, Cho signed his first professional contract with Angers on 2 May 2020.[4] In doing so, he became the second youngest player to sign a professional contract in France (behind Eduardo Camavinga).[5] Angers planned to initially use him in the reserve teams, but he quickly became part of the first team.[6] He made his professional debut with Angers in a 2–0 Ligue 1 loss to Bordeaux on 30 August 2020.[7] He was one of the 10 youngest players to play in the top European leagues during the season.[8] He started his first match for Angers in the cup on 11 February 2021, in a 2–1 win against Rennes.[9] He made his first league start on 17 April 2021 against Rennes.[10]

Real Sociedad

On 15 June 2022, it was announced that Cho had signed a five-year deal with La Liga side Real Sociedad.[11] The transfer fee paid to Angers was reportedly in the region of €12 to €15 million.[12]

International career

Born in France, raised in England, and of Ivorian and Moroccan descent, Cho is eligible for all four national teams. He was a youth international for England with two caps for the England U16s.[4][13] He has also played for the England U15s.[14] In early 2021, Cho said that he hadn't decided on who to represent internationally, stating: "I am well aware of the options I have and we will see later".[15] He switched to represent the France U21s in April 2021.[16]
