The Algerian Football Federation has contacted Ethan Mbappe, the younger brother of France captain Kylian Mbappe, as it looks to strengthen its options ahead of the World Cup.
The move comes after Ethan Mbappe attracted attention with Paris Saint-Germain and began to feature more regularly at youth level, prompting Algeria to open a line of communication with the player and his entourage.
Ethan is eligible to represent Algeria through family roots, and the federation’s approach is part of its efforts to follow files of dual-nationality players early, before major tournaments.
No final decision has been announced by the player regarding his international future, with the situation still at the stage of contact and discussions.
The development adds another name to Algeria’s long-running focus on players with multiple options, as the national team plans for the next stage and prepares for the World Cup.
