Background
On the junior circuit, Trapp was one of the favorite footballers in Germany, he racked up 26 caps for Germany's youth teams.
As a youth player, Trapp played for FC Brotdorf in 1997. He also played for SSV Bachem and SV Mettlach.
Debut

In 2017, Trapp made his competitive debut for Die Mannschaft and was part of their squad that won the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup.
Rise to Glory

Kevin was signed by PSG in the year 2015 with Ligue 1, and he soon surpassed Salvatore Sirigu as PSG's premier goalkeeper in the club's Ligue 1 and UEFA Champions League matches.
Low Points
Since surpassing Sirigu in the pecking order at PSG, Trapp was never able to nail down his spot as the French giants’ permanent no. 1 between the sticks. Alphonse Areola usurped him in coach Unai Emery’s preference, and at present, he is well and truly the Parisians’ no. 2 in goal.
