Kylian Mbappé’s successor has already been found, and he is playing in Ligue 1.
The succession is assured in Ligue 1. While Kylian Mbappé should in all likelihood no longer be in Paris for very long, his contract with PSG expiring at the end of the season, his successor is already on the horizon. His name: Eli Junior Kroupi. Author of 3 goals and 2 assists in 7 matches since the start of the season, the young French striker (17 years old) has even already made history in the French championship this weekend, on the occasion of the 8e daytime.
Already in the history of Ligue 1
His double scored in the draw won by Lorient on the Lyon pitch (3-3), Sunday afternoon, effectively allowed him to become the youngest player to achieve this performance. At 17 years and 105 days, the son of Elie Kroupi, former scorer for Merlus in the early 2000s, did better than Eliesse Ben Seghir and Jérémy Ménez. “It’s a phenomenon”confirms in the columns of West France his teammate at FCL, Tiémoué Bakayoko.
“It’s a phenomenon”
“He reminds me a little of Kylian Mbappé in his playing maturityadds the one who evolved with the ex-prodigy of Bondy in Monaco, in 2016-2017. He does everything very quickly. He already has good stats for a young person of his age. It’s incredible. We must protect him. We have to give him time to toughen up a little but if he continues like this, we have a future Kylian Mbappé (laughs). He brings a lot to the team. His goals will lead to others. He’s only 17, let’s be calm. He’s a good boy. »
