The young French sensation, touted as the new Thierry Henry, has taken world football by storm this season by scoring an incredible 23 goals in 38 appearances for the Ligue 1 table-toppers. At just 18 years old, the world is at the feet of this prolific young forward.
Mbappe’s achievements have not gone unnoticed as almost all the European elites are monitoring his progress at Stade Louis II and are willing to spend a fortune for his signature. His performances, especially in some key Champions League matches, have earned him the adulation of fans all around the globe.
Considering his age and the fact that this is just his second season as a professional footballer, there seems to be no limit to the dizzying heights this lad can reach. His is another case of when rather than if he can win a Ballon d’Or.
