World Cup 2018: 10 top number 10s to watch out for

#6 Kylian Mbappe (France)

FBL-FRA-ITA-FRIENDLY — The boy wonder will be a marked man at the World Cup

The searing pace, amazing dribbles, and unerring finishing. No, it’s not Thierry Henry but rather the 18-year-old tyro; Kylian Lottin Mbappé that has taken French and European football by storm.

The youngster’s ascent to the pinnacle of football has been nothing short of rapid and it seems to be a journey that is set to culminate in being crowned the world’s premier footballer.

Playing in a Les Bleus team whose attacking arsenal will be second to none at Russia 2018, the second youngest player at the tournament will be expected to contribute his fair share of goals, assists, and excitement.

Mbappé has demonstrated the skills and touch of a markedly older player and it would not be a surprise if the 19-year-old light up the tourney.

About the author

Well, I love football (a look at my body of work tells a better story). However, I also love other sports and from time to time, pen articles concerning basketball, tennis, boxing, and e-sports.

I follow these sports as much as I can, this explains why I write on a lot of different topics ranging from analysis and tactics to transfers and a whole lot more (reviews, previews and everything in between).

Real Madrid is the team closest to my heart (same goes for Rafa Nadal, Raul Gonzalez, Mike Tyson, Mortal Kombat and the San Antonio Spurs).
