Ethan Mbappe, the 15-year-old brother of Kylian, joined his brother to train with the PSG first team on Sunday, according to a report from RMC.

It is the latest step the elegant midfielder has taken towards following in his brother’s footsteps to the very top of the game.

On Tuesday, he started his first UEFA Youth League match and impressed in a 3-1 win over Maccabi Haifa, even grabbing an assist in that encounter.

Mbappe was not the only young PSG star to turn out for a light training session on Sunday, which took place after a 4-3 victory over Troyes on Saturday, in which Kylian scored his 16th goal of the season. The striker netted what proved the winner from the penalty spot.

He was joined by fellow prospects Ilyes Housni, Nehemiah Fernandez-Veliz and Christ Mukelenge.

’Mbappe treated like the others’

Ethan Mbappe is not getting any special treatment at PSG, according to Zoumana Camara, who coaches the U19 side.

“I treat him like the others,” he said of the teenager in an interview with L’Equipe earlier in the week. “I know he's an Mbappe, I worked with his brother so when I see him a bit, he reminds me of his brother! After that, he's a player like the rest, there's no special treatment.”

The hype around Ethan Mbappe is slowly building around PSG, but the teenager will soon have to decide whether to continue his advanture at the club or move elsewhere to receive greater first-team exposure.

The likes of Christopher Nkunku and Moussa Diaby have shone since departing Parc des Princes, while one of Troyes’ scorers on Saturday was 17-year-old winger Wilson Odobert, who has made huge strides in Ligue 1 this season after joining the Champagne club from PSG in the summer.

Ethan Mbappe is presently on a three-year youth deal that expires in 2024.
