Top 5 youngsters who can win the Ballon d'Or

#1 Kylian Mbappe

Kylian Mbappe can be an undisputed king of football.

Kylian Mbappe is the most prodigious talent in world football and has lived up to all the hype that has surrounded him since his early days. Mbappe first burst onto scene with his performances for French Under 19 side where he scored 5 goals helping his side win the UEFA European U19 Championships. He soon became a mainstay of the Monaco side, where he forged a deadly combination with Radamel Falcao, and scored 26 goals in 44 appearances in his breakthrough season for the club.

His superlative performances helped Monaco win the first league title in 17 years and also led them to the semi-finals of the Champions League. His impressive performances made PSG outstretch their financial muscle and sign him for whopping €180 million following a season-long loan deal.

The young superstar has already scored 11 and made 7 in his 22 appearances for the club this season. He is a sumptuous dribbler, has quick feet and likes to take defenders on but can even power past them with strength and explosive pace. He is a lethal finisher and can play as a center forward or on the right wing.

He is just 18 years of age and finished 7th in the Ballon d'Or rankings this year. With his style of play likely to draw several voters, it certainly makes him a potential laureate down the road.
