At the age of 6, young Kylian would follow his father to the pitch and join other young talents, most quite older than he was then, in training. It was reported that he quickly developed a fondness for the game through the encouragement of his parents, his mother most especially.

Kylian started his career with AS Bondy youth team under the tutelage of his father Wilfred, who was then part of the coaching crew of the team. With a talent too hot to be nurtured at AS Bondy, his parents eventually moved him to the Clairefontaine academy. His impressive performances at Clairefontaine caught the attention of top French clubs and several foreign European top clubs who attempted to sign him.

Born in Montreuil, Seine-Saint-Denis, Mbappe as he is also being called, started with the AS Bondy your team as his brothers before him and played with them for at least 2 years.

The 15 year old got what would look like a big step into a successful career in football when he joined French giants Paris Saint-Germain in 2017. His move was a part of the deal that saw the club bring in his brother Kylian on loan from AS Monaco. He made his debut appearance for the club and scored his first goal for the under-12 team.

Ethan is currently with the under-17 team where he continues to develop his talent after signing a contract in 2021 that keeps him on the team for the next 3 years.
