The 2022 World Cup has been good for Ethan Mbappe Lottin. While Kylian shone in Qatar - leading France to the final with eight goals and two assists - his brother took advantage of the World Cup break to rise steadily climb through the ranks at Paris Saint-Germain.
Ethan, who made his debut in the Youth League in September, went up to train with the first team for the first time at the end of October and, taking advantage of the absence of the World Cup players, has become a regular in PSG's first-team training sessions.
What's more, Ethan Mbappe made his debut for Paris Saint-Germain (in a friendly match) during the break. He played 45 minutes - coming on for Fabian Ruiz at half-time - on December 16 in the 2-1 win over Paris FC and played the last 20 minutes in the 3-1 win over Quevilly Rouen on December 21.
Once all the internationals are back, Ethan - who turns 16 before the end of December - is likely to return to the youth team. In the Youth League, he has already provided two assists. In any case, it is interesting to see him training alongside his brother Kylian for now.
Football-wise, it must be said, they do not have much in common. Ethan is left-footed, unlike Kylian, and plays inside or as a midfielder, usually on the left. He also stands out for his good set-piece shooting.
His career, for now, is going from strength to strength. A year ago, he renewed his contract with PSG and has just been called up to the France Under-16 squad.
