Who else would be #1 other than this teenage superstar! Joining PSG as a loanee from the reigning champions Monaco, Mbappe started things from where he left off last season.
Along with world record transfer Neymar and current Ligue 1 player of the year Edinson Cavani, Mbappe has become a part of a deadly trio which literally bullies the opponent defenders and scores for fun!
Set to be the second most expensive transfer of all time in the upcoming summer, Mbappe scored on his both league and UCL debut for the capital club. In other means, it was also important for Mbappe to prove that he is not a one season wonder and to continue his goal scoring form which he had in Monaco. He is exactly doing that.
With 14 goals and 13 assists from 25 matches this season, it won't be an overstatement to call him the best teenage footballer in the world right now. Described as an “amazing football talent” by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger; Mbappe was part of the French Under-19 team which won U-19 Euros in 2016. He also finished second highest goal scorer in that tournament, only behind his compatriot and former PSG wonderkid Jean Kevin Augustin.
By using both pace and skills at the same time, Mbappe also grabbed some individual honours this season which includes Golden Boy award and a top-10 finish in Ballon d’Or. Already capped 10 times by Les Bleus, Mbappe would play an important part of French squad which has high hopes for 2018 World Cup.
