It is not often a player at 18 years of age is associated with consistent performances for the first team and is linked to every top club in Europe. And when the player is French, playing on the left-wing for Monaco, the comparisons with Thierry Henry, who followed a similar path before becoming one of the world’s best at Arsenal, are instantaneous. Despite having a long way to go to reaching the elite pedestal, Mbappe already has taken the first steps in that direction.

The youngster is a part of the most exciting attacking team on the continent in Leonardo Jardim’s Monaco and has recently become the youngest player at 18 years and 2 months of age to score 10 goals in the French top flight in the last 30 years as per Opta. Blessed with pace, possessing strong dribbling skills and displaying tremendous maturity, Mbappe is arguably the most talented French youngster at the moment.

Hence, it is only natural for bigger clubs to try prise him away and his versatility to play in both left-wing and striker positions a huge asset. Both the Manchester clubs have been linked with the player and a rejected €40 million bid last summer from Manchester United shows how much more he will cost after his exploits this season.
