The spirit with which Paris Saint Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe entered into the new Ligue 1 campaign is really terrifying, raising suggestions that the youngster could be on his way to establish himself on top of the football world this season.

After leading his nation to claim the prestigious FIFA World Cup trophy in Russia recently, scoring an incredible 4 goals as well as claiming the Best Young Player Award for his amazing exploits during the tournament, the Frenchman has resumed the Ligue 1 with a big bang - tormenting opposition defenses with his incredible pace, spectacular dribbling skills and amazing goalscoring ability.

Mbappe is currently sitting on top of the Ligue 1 top scorer's list, with 4 goals and 2 assists in 3 appearances. With over 30 games still left to be played, only time will tell how many goals the Paris Saint Germain winger will score in the French top flight during the campaign.
