Kylian Mbappe

The heir to the throne of Messi and Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappe has won almost everything at 20 years of age. He finished fourth in Ballon d'Or 2018 and was crowned the inaugural Kopa Trophy winner in 2018. He also helped France lift their 2nd World Cup in 2018. His speed and accuracy is second to none and barring injuries he is destined to be the next big thing in football.

His chances of winning the Ballon d'Or hinge on Paris Saint-Germain reaching till future stages of UCL and if PSG finally wins the UCL, he would be the firm favourite to win the prestigious Ballon d'Or. With Neymar being on sidelines due to injury, Mbappe has been a force to reckon with. Also having almost won Ligue 1, a good performance in Champions League would make him youngest ever to win Ballon d'Or.
