Désiré Doué: Carving His Own Path in Football

In a recent interview, 19-year-old Paris Saint-Germain forward Désiré Doué addressed the growing comparisons between himself and Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé. Despite similarities in their career trajectories, Doué made it clear that he aims to establish his own identity in the football world.

Both Doué and Mbappé joined PSG at the age of 18, leading to inevitable comparisons. While Mbappé’s impact was more immediate, Doué has been steadily making a name for himself under coach Luis Enrique this season. The young talent has impressed with 8 goals and 8 assists in 37 appearances, despite not being a regular starter.

When asked about the Mbappé comparisons, Doué responded diplomatically: “I’m aware of the comparisons, but I’m Désiré Doué, and Kylian is Kylian. He’s an exceptional player who has already achieved so much in football. I’m focused on creating my own journey.”

Doué’s statement reflects his maturity and determination to succeed on his own terms. As he continues to develop at PSG, football fans will be watching closely to see how this promising young player’s career unfolds.
