Teenager Kylian Mbappe is probably the most sought after footballer in Europe right now, and the AS Monaco star clearly knows it.

The 18-year-old’s goals fired Monaco to the French title and the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season, and now he was wanted by some of Europe’s elite clubs.

Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are interest, while Arsenal have already tried and failed with an £89million bid for the striker.

And while his Chelsea-bound teammate Tiemoue Bakayoko is doing everything but confirm his move to London via social networks, Mbappe jumped straight to the chase to confirm his new big deal.

Posting a video on Twitter account on Friday night, with the caption ‘Grande annonce’, Mbappe outlined the deal.

It started promisingly enough for the watching fans. It seemed heartfelt, honest, and planned.

Sadly for his suitors, it turned out, he was simply showing off his new pair of Nike boots.

The video finished with beaming laughter from the teenage sensation. Well play, Kylian. Well played.
