Kylian Mbappe (France, PSG)
The then 18-year-old took the French Ligue by storm in 2016 by scoring 16 goals to help Monaco to their first league title in 17 years. His potential and loan to rivals PSG last summer has put him on the brink of breaking into that top-tier category of footballers that his French counter-part, Antione Griezmann, finds himself in.

His breakout season for Monaco and then his blistering form for PSG this season sees him boast two consecutive Ligue titles at the age of 19. He heads to Russia being one of the youngest players in one of the most talented French sides since the 1998 World Cup win.
Everything is set for young Kylian to succeed on the world’s biggest stage and complete his accent into that top tier. Financial fair play will see PSG sweating on his 200m euro transfer deal that is expected to go through this transfer window, with both Real Madrid and Manchester City being the only two clubs who could afford him if he proves to be the real deal in Russia.
