KYLIAN MBAPPE will switch to No7 at PSG this season, taking over in the shirt last worn by Tottenham's Lucas Moura who left the French capital in January.

Mbappe, whose goals inspired France to win the World Cup, leaves behind his old No29 shirt.

The announcement from PSG was accompanied by a promo video and the hashtag #K7LIAN.

19-year-old Mbappe makes his £168million move to the French capital permanent this summer after spending last season on loan from former club Monaco.

He had been linked with a move to Real Madrid this summer but the latest announcement suggests he's staying put - at least for now.

Rabiot briefly spent time in Manchester City's academy in 2008 before, one of five youth setups he spent time in before settling in Paris in 2010.

Mbappe is rewarded for his stunning performances in Russia, scoring four times including in the 4-2 final win over Croatia.

There, he wore 10, while he has also worn 20 for the national team.

A World Cup winners' medal adds to his already bulging trophy cabinet, which includes Ligue 1 titles in each of the last two seasons, first with Monaco and then PSG.
