Kylian Mbappé Lottin (French pronunciation: ​[kiljan (ə)mbape]; born 20 December 1998) is a French professional footballer who plays as a striker for Ligue 1 club AS Monaco and the French national team.

Mbappé started out at AS Bondy, where his father Wilfried was a coach. A stint at the famous Clairefontaine academy followed, before a host of impressive performances had numerous French clubs, as well as Spanish clubs Real Madrid and Valencia CF, attempting to sign him. Mbappé ultimately settled on AS Monaco.

Mbappé made his first team debut on 2 December 2015 in a 1–1 Ligue 1 home draw against SM Caen, replacing Fábio Coentrão after 88 minutes, becoming Monaco’s youngest-ever first team player aged 16 years 347 days and breaking Thierry Henry’s record set 21 years ago.

On 20 February 2016, Mbappé scored his first goal for the club's first team, a stoppage-time goal in a home Ligue 1 3–1 win over Troyes; at the age of 17 years and 62 days, he became the youngest first team goalscorer in Monaco's history — once again displacing Henry in the process. On 6 March 2016, Mbappé signed his first professional contract, a three-year deal, tying him Monaco until June 2019.

Mbappé scored the first hat-trick of his first team career on 14 December 2016 in the 7–0 rout of Stade Rennais F.C. in the Coupe de la Ligue round of 16 at the Stade Louis II - the first hat-trick scored by any Monaco player in the competition since Sonny Anderson in 1997.
