Mbappe is one of Europe's best young talents

Kylian Mbappé's stock has been on the rise ever since his breakthrough season in 2016/17. His prolific performances helped Monaco break PSG's run of four consecutive league titles to win the Ligue 1 trophy, while also winning the division's Young Player of the Year accolade.

This led to a record-breaking loan switch to PSG, who have an option to sign him permanently at the end of the campaign. The 18-year-old Frenchman plays alongside Neymar and Edinson Cavani in their much-feared attacking trio, featuring as part of an ambitious side who are challenging on all fronts this term.

His pace, trickery and eye for goal make him a nightmare for defenders to contend with around the world. Mbappé's playing style has often also been linked to that of Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, who enjoyed similar stardom in the younger stages of his illustrious career.
