Caen scout David Lasry tells the story of how the club nearly signed a young Kylian Mbappe.
Lasry remembers being “blown away” by Mbappe’s talent, saying he saw him as “a future Ballon d’Or contender”.
According to Lasry, Mbappe’s father Wilfried told him the family had made their minds up for the youngster to join Caen, but the deal fell through when the club were relegated from Ligue 1.
