Ethan Mbappé Lottin (born 29 December 2006) is a French professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Ligue 1 club Lille.

Early life

Born in Montreuil, Seine-Saint-Denis, Mbappé was raised in a footballing family, with brother Kylian and adopted brother Jirès Kembo Ekoko both having professional football careers.[2] Their father is Cameroonian and their mother is of Algerian origin.[3]

Club career

Early career

Mbappé followed in both of his older brothers' footsteps by joining local side AS Bondy in 2015.[4] After two years with AS Bondy, he joined French club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2017, in the same transfer window that saw the club bring in his brother Kylian on loan.[4] He scored on his debut for the under-12 team.[5]

Paris Saint-Germain

Mbappé signed a new three-year youth contract with PSG in June 2021.[6] [7] On 16 December 2022, at the age of 15, he made his debut with the club's senior team in a 2–1 friendly win over Paris FC.[8] Ahead of the 2023–24 season, he was called up for the pre-season tour in Asia, and made his first start for PSG in a 3–0 friendly win over Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors on 3 August.[9] Mbappé was selected for a PSG competitive match-day squad for the first time on 15 September 2023,[10] remaining as an unused substitute in a 3–2 home defeat to Nice.[11] He made his senior and professional debut with PSG as a substitute in a 3–1 Ligue 1 win over Metz on 20 December 2023.[12] Mbappé announced his departure from PSG on 18 June 2024.[13]

Lille

Unattached after officially leaving PSG, Mbappé signed for fellow Ligue 1 club Lille on 4 July, on a three-year contract running until 2027.[14] He chose to wear shirt number 29 and stated, "At my age, staying in France was the best option to grow. I think Lille was the best project. It's one of the best clubs in France."[14] Following the transfer, his elder brother Kylian posted on social media, commending him for his first professional contract.[15] Mbappé is one of several players who joined Lille after graduating from the PSG academy, including Mike Maignan, Boubakary Soumaré, Jonathan Ikoné and Timothy Weah.[16]

He played his first minutes with his new club on 17 August, coming off the bench in a 2–0 Ligue 1 away win over Reims and providing an assist to Jonathan David.[17] He then made his first Ligue 1 start in a 2–0 home win against Angers the next week, at the age of 17 years 7 months and 26 days.[18] Four days later, Mbappé played his first UEFA Champions League match at Slavia Prague in the play-off round, taking part in his club's qualification to the brand new league phase.[19]

He was injured in September 2024, missing games including a match against brother Kylian's Real Madrid.[20] [21]

International career

In November 2021, Mbappé was called up to the France under-16s.[22]

Style of play

Unlike his brother Kylian, a forward known for his lightning-quick pace, Ethan is a technical, left-footed midfielder.[23] [24]
