9. Kylian Mbappe - Paris Saint-Germain
Although it feels like Kylian Mbappe has been around for a while now, its easy to forget that he's only 20 years of age and has his prime ahead of him. The youngster, who is already a 3-time Ligue 1 winner and a World Cup winner with France, is widely regarded as the most exciting young player in world football currently and is streets ahead of other players who belong to his age group.
With a staggering tally of 39 goals and 17 assists in all competitions last season, Mbappe played a pivotal role as Paris Saint-Germain won yet another league title and has seemingly carried on from where he left off, with 10 goals and 4 assists so far this season. The 20-year-old has scored more than 100 goals for club and country at such a tender age and it would be going too far if he said that he's expected to retire with multiple Ballons d'Or to his name.
Mbappe spearheaded the Parisian club last season in Neymar's absence and the fact that a 20-year-old makes the list is quite frightening to say the least, as he is nowhere close to his peak, both physically as well as in terms of ability.
