Kylian Mbappé sends shockwaves in Ligue 1 Player of the Year acceptance speech

Speaking following accepting the Ligue 1 Player of the Year Award, Kylian Mbappé declared that he would be open to a new challenge.

“This was the only title that I was missing. I am truly very happy. I want to dedicate it the president, I know that he was affected by a tragedy this year. I want to thank all of the people who put together this league. I succeeded in adapting in my first year, to change position this year. There were some disappointments, but that is part of football. This is a very important moment for me. I am arriving at the second turning point in my career. I have discovered an enormous amount of things here. It is maybe the moment to have more responsibilities, maybe at PSG, with pleasure, or elsewhere for a new project. In any case thanks everyone!”

Speaking to reporters in the mixed zone afterwards, Mbappé added:

“I said what I had to say. When you are in such an occasion you can send messages, I think I have sent mine. If I speak more it will be too much and that is not the message I wish to send.”
