Mbappe scored 26 goals in 44 matches during a breakthrough campaign at Monaco last season and the 18-year-old had been heavily linked with a move away from the Stade Louis II following a string of barnstorming performances in the Champions League.
Real Madrid, Manchester United and Arsenal were all understood to have expressed a strong interest in the France striker but he will be lining up alongside Neymar at the Parc des Princes for the 2017/18 season.
Mbappe joins PSG on loan, with an agreement in place make the deal permanent next summer in an expected £162million switch – making the youngster the second most expensive player of all-time.
Mbappe started Monaco’s opening game of the 2017/18 Ligue 1 campaign against Toulouse on August 4 but has not featured for the French outfit since.
