The 24-year-old is also currently on humanitarian mission on behalf of his foundation, which hopes to help young Cameroonians actualise their dreams. Mbappé, born to a Cameroonian father but currently plays internationally for France – his country of birth.
On Friday, Mbappé met with Cameroon’s Prime Minister Joseph Ngute, along with other officials. He was also spotted with Cameroonian MMA star Francis Ngannou and former Chicago Bulls star Joakim Noah at Noah’s court amidst the presence of huge onlookers.
