Mbappe donates to Sala plane pilot search fund

The family of David Ibbotson, the pilot of the plane that went missing while taking Emiliano Sala from Nantes to his new club Cardiff, has launched a fundraising appeal to search for him. Sala's body was recovered from the wreckage of the plane but Mr Ibbotson's body has yet to be located and his family are growing increasingly desperate.

They have a target of £300,000 to reach in order to fund the private search and have received donations from the likes of Kylian Mbappe, who has donated £27,000 and Gary Lineker who has donated £1000. Mbappe donated under the name Elie Lottin, since his full name is Kylian Mbappe Lottin.
