He is arguably the most lethal teenager in the 2018 World Cup. The Paris Saint-Germain star was brilliant for his club in the 2017/18 campaign. Kylian Mbappe has scored 21 goals and assisted 11 more for PSG this season.

Given the responsibility of leading the line for his country in the 2018 World Cup, the 19-year-old did not disappoint. He scored a goal against Peru in the group stage and was brilliant against Argentina in the round of 16 with a stunning brace.

Les Bleus are one of the strong favorites to win the title this year and playing really well at the moment. A couple of more goals and a World Cup win will certainly put him in the driver seat to win the Ballon d’Or award this year.
