The youngster has also been tipped for the Ballon d'Or award this year

With many people now raising suggestions that the Ballon d'Or accolade should go to a Frenchman, it could end up being Paris Saint Germain wonderkid, Kylian Mbappe that will deny Luka Modric from completing a treble with the prestigious award this year.

A highly talented youngster with plenty of technical abilities and incredible finishing skills, Mbappe was one of the top performers in the football world last season, producing a lot of blistering performances and bagging an impressive 21 goals and 15 assists for his club across all competitions to help deliver a domestic treble at the Parc Des Princes during the term.

The 19-year-old was also a huge influence for his nation during the recently concluded FIFA World Cup tournament in Russia and his 4 brilliant goals were pivotal for France as they ran riot on their way to claiming the prestigious trophy for the second time in their history.
