Superstar, world-class, FIFPro XI, World Cup winner, Raymond Kopa award, Ballon d'Or nomination, second most expensive player, Golden Boy; Kylian Mbappe's CV reads like that of a highly accomplished and experienced legend of the game and while he can arguably be considered a legend already, the Frenchman is still only just 20.

He had burst onto the scene with his displays in Monaco's fairytale 2016/2017 season and was the toast of Europe with PSG rushing to capture his signature in a deal worth €135m with add ons and incentives seeing that figure rise to over €180m.

This makes him the second most expensive player of all time and while the other players on this list might have had trouble living up to expectation following their mega move, Kylian Mbappe has had no such troubles as he has handled his time in the spotlight with grace and composure and is well on his way to becoming an all time great.
