The prospect of seeing Kylian Mbappé evolve in the axis has gained depth within Paris Saint-Germain.

Accustomed to a “left attacker” role for several seasons, can Kylian Mbappé transform into a false center forward? It’s an idea that is starting to gain ground in the context of Paris Saint-Germain. If he seems completely at ease on the side in Didier Deschamps’ system, the Bondy prodigy displays a more mixed performance in the game with PSG.

This means that Luis Enrique has control over his team, which Christophe Galtier did not necessarily have last season. In his progression, it’s not a bad thing to see him in this position. He is good in the middle, can escape and gives Luis Enrique several possibilities.”
