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.
