Meanwhile Fatouh is getting some eyes on him for his performance against Lamine Yamal!

Kylian Mbappe: I Will Make Ethan Play for The Algeria National Team

  • Kylian Mbappe’s younger brother, Ethan, has long been rumored to be considering representing Algeria on the National level instead of France.

  • The 19-year-old has never represented France at the senior level. Kylian Mbappe was famously called for the World Cup with France at just 18 years old, and not only played but won the tournament.

  • It is interesting to see that the French World Cup winner is making his brother play for another country.

Senny Mayulu To Switch International Allegiance To Algeria

  • According to reports, PSG’s star youngster Senny Mayulu has agreed to switch his international allegiance from France To Algeria ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

  • The 19-year-old midfielder scored 5 goals and provided 5 assists in 32 appearances with PSG this season.

  • He is eligible to represent Algeria as his mother was born in Oran.

Real Betis Keen on Signing Fatouh After Performance Against Lamine Yamal

  • Real Betis are interested in the Egyptian left back, after being one of the very few defenders to stop Lamine Yamal.

  • Yamal had a quiet match as Egypt drew 0-0 in Spain. Fatouh is still 28 years old and has a lot to offer in Europe.

  • This was not the first time Fatouh has bester another elite player in football. Fatouh was famously applauded for holding off Achraf Hakimi in the 2022 AFCON Quarter-Final against Morocco, as Egypt won 2-1. Hakimi left the match with only a yellow card.
