Club Career Journey

Kylian Mbappe was born on the 20th of December 1998, in Bondy Seine-Saint-Denis, in France.
He was born to parents with Africa heritage in them, his dad being from Cameroon and his mum from Algeria.
Kylian Mbappe actually has an unique story, unlike story of most football players where they come from a poor family, Kylian Mbappe parents were not too rich but they were comfortable, another unique thing is that all their family are either into football or athletic stuff, his dad his a football coach and his mum his a former handball player while his two brothers are also into football. So it wasn't really hard for his family, especially his dad who was his coach in AS bondy to notice his unique talent.

At just six his Dad already saw how talented he was and even used the word “Crack” to describe him because he was so good that he had to play with older boys because he was no match for his peers.

He joined Clairfontaire Academy, one of the best academy vand this help him get access to numerous offers from top European clubs from France, England, even Germany. He got invited to the with Real Madrid and Chelsea but he finally decided to join AS Monaco.

He started playing with the team B, back in 2015 before getting promoted to the senior team and made his debut in just two months of joining, this made him the youngest player to make his debut for Monaco breaking Thierry Henry record at just 16 years and 347 days. He got his first goal against Troyes making him the youngest player to score for Monaco at just 17 years and 62 days. He got his professional contract of three years with Monaco.

He had a fantastic season with Monaco helping them win the Ligue 1 tittle in 2016/2017 and reaching the semi finals of the Champions league, scoring a total of 26 goals in 44 matches in all competition.

He got a big move to PSG after his negotiation with Real Madrid didn't work out, in a deal worth €145 millions and €35 millions as add ons, making him the most expensive teenager in the world.

He started well gor PSG scoring a goal on his debut against Metz, he continued his fantastic run and was handed the shirt number 7.
He helped the team win the Ligue 1 tittle and he halso won player of the season and highest goal scorer with 33 ligue 1 goals and 39 goals in all competition, they also won the Trophies Des champion.

Style of Play

Kylian Mbappe his a very versatile player, quick on his feet, strong, competitive, nice dribbling skills and good goal scoring sense. His style has been compared to the likes of Thierry Henry and Cristiano Ronaldo. Hopefully he surpass his ability.

Lifestyle

He his a very funny, reserved person, he doesn't show off his wealth or boast of his wealth on social media even with over millions of followers. He his hard-working and philanthropic, he showed this when he donation £53,000 to the crowdfunding campaign to help find emiliano sala, a football player whose light aircraft got missing.
