Top 5 U-23 strikers who could take the World Cup by storm

Brazil v Argentina - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia Qualifier
Brazil is one of the favourites to lift the trophy again

#3 Kylian Mbappe

France v England - International Friendly
France youngster Mbappe will be headed to his first World Cup

19-year-old French forward, Kylian Mbappe has surely secured a spot for himself in the French national team and will be heading to his first international tournament with the Les Bleus. Deschamps has shown tremendous faith in the player who has shown traces of his brilliant form from his incredible rise last season.

Mbappe has found the net on numerous occasions this season for PSG and will be all geared up to help the national team overcome their Euro 16 final loss at home with a second World Cup trophy. A strong young player, Mbappe can lead the line for France but that seems unlikely and will most likely be deployed on the left wing running at defenders.

The Frenchman has an incredible turn of pace, a lethal shot and composure in front of goal making him a real threat for defenders to pick up. Mbappe could take the tournament by storm and guide the Les Bleus to a historic triumph.
