Market Value: €150 million

Club: Paris Saint-Germain

The most expensive teenager of all time. The second most expensive player of all time. World Cup winner. Ligue 1 winner. The youngest player on this list. The most valuable player on this list. Entry onto the 10-man shortlist for the FIFA Men's Player of the Year. The list goes on.

Kylian Mbappe is simply a sensation. Following his role in helping France lift the World Cup over the summer, comparisons are already being drawn between himself and Pele. The 19-year-old has amassed an astounding 24 caps for France and made 30 appearances for Paris Saint-Germain.

While many believed he would play second fiddle to Neymar at the Parisian club, the teenager arguably outshines the Brazilian superstar. This season he has already scored four goals in three appearances for his club.

It is difficult to see a career path that doesn't include multiple individual awards for Kylian Mbappe. The only real question about his career is whether he will eventually test himself in a more competitive league than Ligue 1 and truly cement a place as one of the greatest ever.
