Kylian Mbappe

What can one say about a player who won the silver ball at the World Cup as a 19 year old and is already one of the most talked about players in world football? Mbappe scored 4 goals at the World Cup, including 1 in the final. He was one of the architects of France’s glorious triumph.

Mbappe’s fairy-tale might continue in the upcoming season as well, he has completed his move to PSG from Monaco. He has already played in 104 club matches in the top flight and scored 48 goals.

That is a remarkable record for a teenager by any standard. Mbappe’s outrageous speed, smooth dribbling and brilliant vision has already made him a force in the world of football. Clubs like Real Madrid have already shown their interest in him, and Mbappe has become one of the most valuable players on the transfer market.

He is unlikely to rest on his laurels, and would want to further contribute to PSG’s rise in European football by performing well in the UEFA Champions League. PSG will again strive to win the ultimate prize in club football, if they are to achieve that elusive dream, Mbappe must perform to his full potential.
