📸 PSG chasing 11-year-old talent... named Kylian Mbappé | OneFootball

When it comes to modern football, snapping up young talent is crucial for top clubs.

They have scouts in every corner of the world, attending every game, writing dossiers on every player.

That’s why Paris Saint-Germain are chasing the next Kylian Mbappé… literally.

11-year-old Kylian Mbappé from Paris has reportedly received a formal invite from the Ligue 1 champions to join their academy.

“He will do what he wants and we will not push him at all costs to become a professional footballer,” said the boy’s father Eric, who is Cameroonian, just like the father of older Kylian Mbappé.

“If it is the case that he goes to PSG, who have approached us, we would of course become closer to the other Kylian.”

“I have often been asked if I did it on purpose to call my son what his name is,” he told Le Parisien.

“People quickly forget that there is only an 8-year age difference between the two and so obviously he was not a footballer when my son was born.”

11-year-old Kylian also said, “Since the other one became big, I have got used to it. I don’t even pay attention to it even if it generally makes me feel good.

“I am a PSG fan, I would like to have the same career as him.”

No pressure, kid!
