    This is hilarious.

    Not sure which PSG player's Snapchat this is from but he thinks new signing Kylian Mbappe looks like Donatello from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

    That laugh! 😂😂😂

    Two summers ago, Kylian Mbappe was celebrating passing his French high school exams and preparing to play for Monaco in an under-19s tournament.

    On 31 August, the 18-year-old striker joined Paris St-Germain - initially on loan - in a deal that will be worth 180m euros (£166m) by this time next year.

    The France international became the hottest property in European football as he scored 26 goals in all competitions for the Ligue 1 champions last season.

    But why has a teenager with just 46 first-team appearances and one full season behind him commanded a transfer fee usurped only by Neymar's 220m euro (£200m) move to PSG earlier this month?

    On transfer deadline day...

    Paris St-Germain signed Kylian Mbappe on a season-long loan from Monaco, with an option to make the deal permanent for 180m euros (£165.7m).

    Should PSG sign the France international on a permanent deal, his contract will run until June 2022.

    Any deal for the 18-year-old is likely to be eclipsed only by the 222m euros (£200m) PSG paid for Neymar.

    "I really wanted to be a part of the club's project, which is one of the most ambitious in Europe," said Mbappe.

    Teenage sensation Kylian Mbappe makes his debut for PSG. He is in a front four which consists of himself, Neymar, Julian Draxler and Edinson Cavani. Scary.

    Another intriguing line sees left-back Yuri Berchiche make his first start for the French side. Berchiche is a former Tottenham youth team player and made his professional debut for Cheltenham.

    PSG XI: Areola, Meunier, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Berchiche, Motta, Rabiot, Draxler, Mbappe, Neymar, Cavani.

    Metz

    Former Tottenham full-back Benoit Assou-Ekotto starts for Metz, as does ex-Newcastle striker Emmanuel Riviere.

    Metz XI: Kawashima, Balliu, Bisevac, Niakhate, Assou-Ekotto, Phillips, Cafu, Dossevi, Roux, Couhade, Riviere.

    Top v bottom.

    Six French league titles v zero.

    World's most expensive player v ex-Spurs defender.

    If it weren't for being in France, these two sides could not be further apart.
