00:00Did you know that Chelsea almost signed Kylian Mbappe?

00:02In 2012, a 13-year-old Kylian Mbappe flew to London to sign for Chelsea on a trial.

00:07The reason for them rejecting him now looks ridiculous.

00:10The Chelsea staff reportedly told his mother that he's good, but he doesn't track back enough.

00:15They wanted him to come back for a second trial.

00:17But his mum said, if you want him, take him now or not at all.

00:20And they passed.

00:22So Mbappe stayed in France and he signed for Monaco.

00:24And his time at Monaco is where he truly broke out on the Champions League stage.

00:28Of course, his move to PSG before Real Madrid made him into a global superstar that he is now.

00:33He's got a World Cup, bags 40-odd goals a season, and he's become a global icon in football.

00:38A player that went from a no-thanks at Chelsea as a 13-year-old.

00:42A player that they could have had, by the way, as a homegrown talent.

00:45Into being one of the greatest players of a generation.

00:48But what would have happened if Mbappe started at Chelsea?

00:50Would he have been the player that he became today?

00:52Or would he have been even better?

00:53I guess we'll never know, but we'll let the comments decide on this one.
