Youth career
Canvot was born on 29 July 2006 in the Paris suburb of Argenteuil and began his youth career at local club RFC Argenteuil, before moving to AS Bondy in 2015 and eventually Toulouse. He was also a part of the prestigious Clairefontaine academy, where he transitioned from an attacker to a defender, and eventually caught the eye of Toulouse scouts.[3]
Club career
Canvot played his first professional game in a 6–1 home defeat for Toulouse II against Le Puy Foot in the Championnat National 2 on 23 March 2024.[4]
In June 2024, he signed his first professional contract with Toulouse[5] and he made his first-team debut in a 2–0 Ligue 1 loss to Brest on 22 September 2024, coming on as a late substitute for Ümit Akdağ.[6] Canvot went on to establish himself as a semi-regular in the first team in the coming months, both in midfield and at the back, playing 90 minutes in games against Strasbourg, Lyon, Auxerre and PSG.[7]
After his first start against Lens, his coach Carles Martínez Novell said on his performance, "Jaydee has been working with us since the first day of preseason. Today, we felt like it was the right day to launch him, and he was ready. He played like an experienced player".[8]
Crystal Palace
Canvot signed for the English Premier League club Crystal Palace on 1 September 2025 on a four-year deal.[9]
International career
Born in metropolitan France, Canvot is of Senegalese, Guadeloupean and Martiniquais descent.[10] He is a youth international for France, having played with the under-17 and under-19 teams.[11]
Style of play
Canvot has described himself as "Athletic, pretty good on the ball, pretty technical for my size, fast, creative, aggressive, and good defensively."[12] He has previously been described as calm on the ball and playing like an experienced player. Although his main position is as a centre-back, he has also shown versatility, occasionally playing as a right-back and a defensive midfielder.
