Former Paris Saint-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino has claimed that Kylian Mbappe is not yet the finished product.

Pochettino also admitted that Mbappe was keen on a move to Madrid during the summer transfer window.

“Mbappe is younger [than Lionel Messi and Neymar] and still immature,” Pochettino told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Leo, Ney, and even Benzema are stable, they have found the maturity that Mbappe has not yet reached. He is evolving. We have not yet to see the best version of him.

“We will see how this process will be affected by what has happened in recent months, with the failure move to Real Madrid.”

Speaking more on Mbappe’s game, Pochettino said: “It is difficult for him to distinguish the moments of the game when he has to take a risk and when he should not. He does not enjoy association with his teammates unless he’s in the defensive third of the pitch, because he needs space to make the most of his strengths.”

“Kylian finds no pleasure in having the ball, he only enjoys it when he can run and finish. He is a fast player who needs to see a hare in front of him in order to [have the motivation] catch it.”
