Kylian Mbappe has denied media reports claiming that he wants to leave Paris Saint-Germain in January, saying he was surprised by the news and the timing of it.

Several French media outlets published reports last Tuesday that the French striker was unhappy with the club over unfulfilled promises on signings - just hours before PSG's Champions League match against Benfica. "I never asked for my departure in January," he told reporters after PSG's 1-0 win over Marseille in Ligue 1 on Sunday. "The information that came out on the day of the [Champions League match against Benfica], I did not understand it.

I am not involved in this information neither directly nor indirectly." PSG coach Christophe Galtier said he also found the timing of the stories suspect following the 1-1 draw against Benfica.

Mbappe scored from the penalty spot in the match, a result that kept the Parisians top of Group H on eight points, ahead of their Portuguese rivals. "I was as shocked by this news as everyone else.
