#1 Kylian Mbappe - 19-years-old
He may only still be on loan, but when Paris St-Germain part with £166 million for the teenaged Frenchman at the end of this season, he will be worth every single penny. Kylian Mbappe is the real deal - he is not an overhyped youngster. We're witnessing the genesis of football's next greatest player.

And what a genesis it is.
Mbappe has broken all sorts of records that have to do with age - he's already more productive than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were at a similar stage of their development.
This is a player who's torn apart Juventus' famed backline at their peak and has continued to perform with consistency this season as well - combining superbly with Edinson Cavani and Neymar. What makes Mbappe's success such a guarantee though, is that he has a humble and calm head on his shoulders.
Say hello to your future Ballon d'Or winner, ladies and gents.
