#2 Kylian Mbappé (PSG)
Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain were ready to break the bank for a certain 18-year old. In the end, it was the Ligue 1 side that managed to acquire the services of Kylian Mbappé.
The rising sensation helped AS Monaco break PSG's dominance and win the French league last season while demonstrating his abilities on the European scene as he helped his club to get to the semi-final stage of the Champions League, putting in some remarkable performances against the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City, and Juventus.
This season, Mbappé has been just as brilliant for his new side, having already scored 7 goals and mustered 7 assists in 15 matches. Mbappé is alongside Uruguay star Edinson Cavani, and Brazilian jewel Neymar Jr, a real powerhouse in European football at the moment. This could well be their year.
PSG are unlikely to lower their demands when Barcelona come knocking the door, but Kylian Mbappé would be worth every penny as he is already one of the best attackers in the world despite still being a teenager.
