Kylian Mbappe: the brightest wonderkid in modern football

Age: 18

Club: Paris Saint-Germain (on loan from AS Monaco)

Position: Forward, Attacking midfielder

Nationality: French

What a player. At times when footballers are just starting to learn the gameplay, Mbappe's statistics speak otherwise. Looking at his numbers, no one will bet on him being an 18-year-old.

Kylian Mbappe made his debut for Monaco in December 2015, becoming the youngest player to play for the club by breaking Thierry Henry's 21-year-old record. The prodigal youngster made received his first international cap for France against Luxembourg in March 2017.

Currently active as a forward for Paris Saint Germain, Mbappe is set to become the second most expensive signing after teammate Neymar. The young starlet has already won a host of personal accolades and became the youngest player to be nominated for the Ballon d'Or.

The Frenchman is capable of operating in a variety of attacking positions. He can play anywhere on the frontline and also carry out a no.10 role for his team. Armed with good vision and technique, Mbappe's dribbling and finishing dexterities make him a treat to watch on the field. No youngster can wreak havoc in the defences as good as the 18-year-old can.

There's no tinge of doubt that Kylian Mbappe will conquer the football world after Ronaldo and Messi retire. PSG are seriously lucky to have him!
