Kylian Mbappe

Arguably the finest Paris born-and-bred journalist on the finest Paris born-and-bred footballer. * James Horncastle, Serie A Correspondent for The Athletic *
The story of Mbappé deserved to be told by someone with a sharp mind and pen, who understands Kylian and his background. Julien ticks all the boxes. * Guillem Balague, award-winning and Sunday Times bestselling author and journalist *
The authoritative read on one of football’s biggest stars, by one of France - and Britain’s - best football journalists. * Sam Wallace, Chief Football Writer at the Daily Telegraph *
This is an illuminating read about one of the twenty-first century’s main characters. Laurens has put in the miles to tell one of the most interesting stories in modern football. * Joey D’Urso, critically-acclaimed author of More Than A Shirt and journalist *
