December 08-Mbappe has a cousin, also named Killian, who currently lives in Leicester, England. Killian, 16, was interviewed by the Sun.
In an interview, he said: “I am the real Killian Mbappe and I support England.” If Southgate calls me, I will tell him that I am as fast as Mbappe, I can stop him, I am a good defender. ”
Killian was born in Paris and his father Stephen and Mbappe’s father Wilfried are cousins. Killian continued: “my father and family support France, but I support England and all my friends are avid fans of the three Lions.”
“to be honest, I am more British than French now. I speak English very well and I have lived here for a long time. I prefer Sausage Rolls to French ham. ”
Killian, who works as a dishwasher in a bar, earns £6.50 an hour and lives in a £350000 three-bedroom semi-detached apartment in the town of Braunstone. His cousin Mbappe earns 650000 pounds a week and owns an apartment worth 3 million pounds in Paris. He also drives a £500000 Ferrari and spends £5 a day on buses in Killian, England.
“I’ve never had any trouble with my name. My friends knew me before Mbappe became famous, so I’m still Killian to them. It’s just that during the game, when other people see my name, they have to double-check it. They may think it’s a joke. ”
“when I saw this young player named Killian Mbappe on TV and he was playing in Monaco, I realized how crazy my name was. I told my father that he said yes, that was my cousin’s son. I think it’s interesting, and it’s an honor. I hope I can meet him one day. ”
Killian’s father, Steve, who has two children, grew up in Cameroon with Mbappe’s father, Wilfried. “after my son was born, I wanted to give him that name, Killian, which means little soldier,” Steve said. “I love the moral.”
“when Wilfried and I went to see his son, I discovered this interesting coincidence. I will not change the name of my child, after all, I have Killian is really the best. ”
