5 French players who can win the Ballon d’Or

#1 Kylian Mbappé (PSG)

The present and the future, it seems a matter of when and not if Mbappe will win a Ballon d'Or

Golden Boy, Boy Wonder, Teenage Tyro!! These and many more appellations have been used to describe the teenage star and if he continues developing the way he has, Ballon d’Or winner may be the next title to be added to his name.

There have been quite a number of teenage superstars who have gone on to become legitimate all-time greats in the last couple of decades: Ronaldo Luiz Nazario de Lima, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Thierry Henry are just some of the illustrious youngsters who fulfilled all expectations that were had about them.

The young Mbappé has the abilities to be just as good as the aforementioned greats and is already being spoken of in the same light as Arsenal and France great Thierry Henry.

A self-professed fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, the youngster combines the best elements of the Portuguese and French superstars into one very deadly cocktail of pace, precision, and power.

In the few games, he has played for the national team, the young striker has looked at home either leading the line or supporting the more experienced forwards.

He is set to become the 2nd most expensive player in the world next season when PSG pay up the agreed £166m to AS Monaco next season and given his abilities, this might prove to be a bargain.
