Club career
Early career
Born in Bully-les-Mines, Faupala joined Lens' youth setup in 2010, aged 13. After impressing within the youth sides with Lens, Faupala agreed to join Premier League side Manchester City on a three-year deal until 2018.[2]
Manchester City
The 18-year-old immediately linked up with Manchester City Development Squad following his move and managed to score in his first friendly appearance for the club while on pre-season tour in Spain.[1]
