Sensational French Teenager, Kylian Mbappe has revealed that he intends to use his World Cup financial gains to promote a charity organization.

The 19-year old forward is known for his support for charities, which organize sports activities for children with disabilities.

According to the news outlet L’Equipe, the 19-year-old player has said that he would donate 20,000 euros (about $23,400), earned during the 2018 World Cup in Russia, to the Premiers de Cordees association.

Mbappe told the media that playing for the national team was “a dream come true,” stressing that he didn’t believe he should be paid for representing his country.

The forward has played in all four of the French team’s matches during the World Cup’s group stage, scoring the winning goal in the game against Peru.

His Man of the match performance against the Lionel Messi’s Argentina team is the latest talk of the World Cup as he was involved in three goals out of the total four goals in the encounter that marked the end of the South American team.
