In an interview with , Mbappe said: "Recently, I was speaking with my father about a player who impressed me because of his speed qualities, that is (Jérémy) Doku, at Rennes.
"In 5 years as a professional, I have never seen someone from a standing start demonstrate so much power.
"In terms of an incredibly quick player, I would also put Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

He made 30 appearances in a Rennes side which finished sixth in Ligue 1 last year, and helped his side keep a draw against Mbappe's PSG in May, which ended up costing them the title.
