Mbappe has been in the news of late after more reports emerged about his uncertain future at the French Ligue 1 champions.

However, Drogba has now come out in support of Mbappe, stressing that the France international is young and is seeking respect.

According to him, people should be lenient with Mbappe, who won the World Cup for France in the past.

“I think what Mbappé is asking for is respect,” Drogba said (via PSGTalk).

“Don’t forget that he is young, so the little mistakes he will make, but you still have to be lenient with him.

“It’s someone who represents France, who is world champion, who gave you a World Cup. So at some point, you have to calm things down.”

Mbappe signed a new three-year contract at PSG in the summer, which also saw him become the highest earner at the Parisians.
