Newcastle United have been linked with a shock move for Kylian Mbappe's younger brother, Ethan Mbappe, following the club's £300million Saudi-led takeover. The 15-year-old, who plays for Paris Saint-Germain's youth academy, has been touted as a potential signing for the Magpies as they look to build for the future.
The news comes after Newcastle's co-owner Amanda Staveley outlined her ambition to turn the club into a global powerhouse, but warned that success will take time. Speaking to MailOnline, she said: 'Of course we have the same ambitions as Manchester City and PSG in terms of trophies, absolutely, but that will take time. Do we want to win the Premier League within five to 10 years? Yes.'
Ethan Mbappe, who has been compared to his older brother, is seen as a promising talent with a bright future. However, any move would likely face competition from other top European clubs. Newcastle's new-found wealth makes them a formidable player in the transfer market, but they will need to act quickly to secure the youngster's signature.
The Magpies have already been linked with a host of big-name players since the takeover, including Kylian Mbappe himself. However, the French superstar is expected to join Real Madrid when his contract expires next summer. The potential signing of Ethan Mbappe would be a long-term investment for Newcastle, as they look to build a squad capable of challenging for honours.
