- Mbappe is reportedly keen on joining quitting PSG, five months after signing a new deal with the Parc des Princes club
- Mbappe is tied to Les Parisiens until 2025 with the French champions adamant on letting the Frenchman leave the club anytime soon
Legendary France forward Thierry Henry has torn into Kylian Mbappe after reports suggested the Paris Saint-Germain forward is unhappy about the role he is playing in.
Mbappe, 23, has bagged 12 goals in all competitions for the Ligue 1 champions this season but his attitude has continued to be the subject of discussion in recent weeks.
Mbappe had taken to social media to blast Christophe Galtier’s style of using him in the middle of PSG’s three-man attacking set-up in the aftermath of the goalless draw against Reims last weekend.
And on Tuesday, it was widely reported that the ex-AS Monaco attacker reportedly feels betrayed by the top brass of PSG for failing to fulfill the promises made to him before inking his new deal which ties him to the French champions until 2025.

But Arsenal icon, Henry, who is a big fan of Mbappe, has hit out at the PSG striker.
According to Henry, he was deployed in a different position at Barcelona to accommodate Lionel Messi but he had to stick to that to help the team.
He told CBS Sports: "There is only one rule: if the boss asks you to do something, you do it, IF it's good for the team! If it's bad for the team, I would get the argument."

Football"I will use my own stories. I didn't like to play out high and wide for Barcelona. I hated it! But I did it for the team.
"I didn't like it after a hundred caps and I don't know how many goals I scored for France, I had to play on the left. I didn't hear anyone say, 'Oh, what a nice gesture!' to go on the left instead of players who had less goals and less caps.
Mbappe is Ligue One’s joint-highest scorer this season with 8 goals, playing as the pivot of PSG’s attacking trio including Neymar and Lionel Messi.
