I am not Cameroonian, I am French – Kylian Mbappe declares

Kylian Mbappe having face constant criticism for not choosing his home country of birth, but has rather continued to advance the French football from where he got opportunity to shine as a footballer, has has now now declared openly for the avoidance of doubt that he is French and not Cameroonian.

Below is his reason for taking and standing by his decisions.

“I am not a Cameroonian. I am a French man. At the beginning of my career, when I was still in the shadows, my father contacted Fecafoot to give me a chance to play with the Cameroon national team. They demanded a huge sum of money from us for me to be able to play for the team. My father who was disgusted by their attitude then turned to France, this France that has given me a chance to show the world what I am capable of. Today that I have become the most expensive player in the world, Cameroon now calls me and attribute to a nationality which is not mine. I am French and I will remain French.” ~ Kylian Mbappe
