In July 2016, France won the U19 Euros in a team led by two strikers. One was Kylian Mbappé, the other was top scorer and player of the tournament, Jean-Kévin Augustin. Augustin scored six goals including the opener in the final and was listed by Lionel Messi as one of the nine best wonderkids in the world. He already played for PSG at the time and was tipped by many to have a greater career than Mbappé. After moving to RB Leipzig, Augustin showed flashes but was inconsistent overall. Following a failed loan at Leeds, he revealed he suffered from long Covid and depression, and was kept out for 14 months. Augustin tried to rebuild his career in France, Switzerland, and Poland but struggled for form and fitness. He’s now a free agent. “Behind the player, it was the man that needed to be saved, and football was just a means to that” - former Nantes coach, Stéphane Ziani. #mbappe #footballtiktok #footballstories
