Kylian Mbappe - The next Thierry Henry?
As if signing Neymar did not turn enough heads, PSG went one step further and signed Kylian Mbappe, the most-wanted youngster in Europe, soon after. The Monaco forward burst onto the European stage last season, helping his team win the Ligue 1 and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

The 18-year-old scored 26 goals and assisted 11 across all competitions last term, a staggering achievement. Every top club in the world vied for his signature throughout the summer and in the end, Mbappe joined Monaco's title rivals PSG on a loan deal. The loan deal helps PSG deal with FFP regulations while the capital club will pay £166 million to make the transfer permanent next summer.

Looking at it purely as a loan move, there is no doubt that this is the best loan deal of this summer. Mbappe's finishing, composure and sense of occasion are already among the best, leading to comparisons with Thierry Henry.
Thus, in Mbappe, PSG have a brilliant French talent; an excellent goalscorer who will feature in a mouth-watering attack alongside Neymar and Cavani. MNC anyone?
