Mbappe's loan deal with Monaco was confirmed before the international break before he was unveiled by the club at Parc des Princes on Wednesday.

The eye-watering deal, PSG's second big-money scoop of the summer, will cost the club £162million when he signs full-time next season.

The 18-year-old was forced to sing an induction tune in front of his team team-mates yesterday before the squad flew towards Metz, near the Franco-Luxembourg border.

He also had a training session with his new colleagues at PSG's training complex, with the club looking to go five wins on the bounce in France's top tier.

Unai Emery's side then face Celtic in the Champions League on Tuesday as Europe's premier club competition gets underway.

PSG are being investigated by Uefa, who are keen to assess if they have breached Financial Fair Play obligations.
