Kylian Mbappe is not just one of the most sought-after youngsters in the world of football but one of the most sought-after players overall. Real Madrid tried their best to rope in PSG's star forward earlier this summer. However, the French international chose to remain with the Red and Blues.

Mbappe is a dangerous deployment on the flank. He can wreak havoc with his speed and ball control. For the same reason, he is often compared to legends Thierry Henry and Ronaldo Nazario.

Despite having bigger names than him within the squad, Mbappe has outshone everybody in Ligue 1 so far. He is PSG's top scorer and the joint-top scorer within the league.

Once upon a time, a young boy from Santos grabbed everyone's attention through his style of play. Hailing from the land of the best dribblers of the game — Brazil — that boy turned out to be the most-expensive footballer of all time.

The 29-year-old often draws the defender towards him and that also makes him one of the most fouled players in a game.

Without a second thought, we can say that Leo Messi is indeed the epitome of dribbling. It is almost impossible to pick his best dribbles as several moments of magic flash in front of us each time he plays.

If we see Messi sprinting inside the box with explosive pace towards the opposition defenders, we know who's going to have the last laugh. No wonder his opponents carry out a detailed study of Leo's gameplay before facing him. However, we can't be sure if that's has helped them, if ever!
