Transferred this summer from PSG to Losc, Ethan Mbappé made a strong impression on his debut in his new colours.
Having arrived at Paris Saint-Germain in 2017, at the same time as his big brother Kylian, Ethan Mbappé was not kept on by the capital club this summer. At the end of his contract, the 17-year-old midfielder was thus forced to find a new place to stay. And it is on the side of Lille that the native of Montreuil decided to continue his progression.
Substitute during the 1era Ligue 1 matchday, Ethan Mbappé was started by Bruno Genesio a week later against Angers. The opportunity for the former Parisian to shine during the 68 minutes of play he spent on the pitch. He even impressed some observers, like Sylvain Charley, journalist at France Bleu Nord.
“He is already ready to play in Ligue 1”
“At first, I wondered what Ethan Mbappé’s place would be in the rotation of defensive midfielders. And at the very beginning of the season, he was behind Benjamin André, behind Angel Gomes and behind Mukau. And then with the rotation, the sequence of matches, we saw him start against Angers and he was very, very interesting.”commented the journalist who follows Losc on the airwaves of France Bleu.
And to add: ” I didn’t know him at all, football-wise. He played in a high position, almost as an attacking midfielder supporting Jonathan David in the centre, in a 3421 system. I found him very interesting. He had a chance to score. What I think is good is that at 17, he’s already ready to play in Ligue 1, because it’s never easy to establish yourself in a club like Losc. And then he showed that he had character. He took responsibility, even if there was still some waste. So it’s very positive. I didn’t expect to see him play so much with Losc.” A good omen for the future.
