Former Chelsea striker, Nicolas Anelka has advised Kylian Mbappe of PSG to leave the club and the French League.
Kylian who joined the team in 2017
was persuaded by Anelka who also represented the team in two spells, to move to a club in England, Spain or Italy.
The rationale behind this urge hinges on the fact that though Mbappe is a great player, he cannot be compared to the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

According to the former Manchester City and Real Madrid goal poacher, Mbappe has to move to big clubs like Chelsea, Man City or Liverpool or to any big club in Spain to compete with the best players and as well get recognized as one.
Throughout Mbappe’s four seasons in PSG, he has failed to win a Champions League for the team. Worse still, they lost the France Ligue 1 to Lille last season.

Anelka wrote for The Athletic: “You have at least two choices — stay in Paris or move to Real Madrid. Both of them can win the Champions League these days. When I was at PSG, that wasn’t the case.”
“That choice depends on what you want to achieve in football. If you want the biggest accolades, you will have to move from PSG at some point.”
“Whatever you do in Paris will be good, but somebody will always say, ‘Well, you did great for PSG but it was only in France. The best leagues are in England and Spain, so you didn’t compete with the best players in the best league.”
“You will have to decide. If you want to win the Ballon d’Or, which is what you should be looking at to echo Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, you will have to compete with the best.”
‘You can’t say you compete with the best all the time when you are at PSG. The French league is not easy, don’t get me wrong, but I think the toughest league is in England.”
“So, if you want to be one of the best, then do what you do in Paris but with Chelsea or United or Arsenal or Manchester City or Liverpool. Or go to Spain to Madrid or Barcelona. Or maybe Italy. Then we can speak about a more global impact.”
Mbappe’s current current contract with the capital club ends in 2022. He is been sought after by Liverpool and Spanish giants, Real Madrid.
