Kylian Mbappé was just eight years old when David Beckham signed with the LA Galaxy in 2007, but the latter arguably has a bigger influence on MLS now than he did then—to the extent that he’s even trying to butter up the Frenchman for a future move stateside.
Mbappé is currently at the World Cup with France, where he has scored four goals in two games to sit alongside Erling Haaland and just one behind the ageless Lionel Messi, and could finish the tournament as the highest goalscorer in the competition’s history, should he manage to outscore Messi by two or more.
