In a new six-part podcast series, Steve Crossman and Julien Laurens chart Kylian Mbappe’s rise from the suburbs of Paris to global superstardom. We begin at AS Bondy, where Mbappe first displayed his prodigious talent and hear from former coaches and teammates about the cheeky schoolboy who, with the support of his ambitious parents, appeared destined for greatness. Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger explains why Mbappe’s talents stood out at an early age, even in the Paris banlieues, one of football’s most competitive breeding grounds.
