The Scouted Football Podcast welcomes hugely-respected European football journalist Julien Laurens to discuss the successes and failures of Paris Saint-Germain's academy setup.

Julien draws on his experiences dealing with players, agents and representatives to decipher why PSG's fruitful academy continues to produce supremely talented players, and why only a handful go on to play in the first-team.

Contains: Aouchiche, Kouassi, Soumaré, Mbe Soh and co.

This week, we're fortunate enough to be joined by Guardian Sport deputy editor Ed Aarons, an expert on African football.

Ed has penned a brand-new book 'Made in Africa' charting the history of African players in the English Premier League. We discuss the various academies, pathways and players to have made the leap from the African subcontinent to become idolised in the Premier League.
