Mbappe is currently the most talented youngster in the world. As was seen in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, his potential is limitless and hence is expected to become a world-class player in the future. Being one of the fastest players in the world, Mbappe with his pace and dribbles can easily create havoc in the opposition defence and is also quite a good finisher for his team.

Mbappe was one of the key players in France's success at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. His performance particularly against Argentina in the Round of 16 was spectacular and earned him the applause of many football fans all around the world. He was rightfully given the FIFA Best Young Player Award for his wonderful performances throughout the tournament.

He has also formed a dangerous attacking partnership with both Neymar and Cavani at PSG. Hence, Mbappe is a worthy candidate to be nominated in the three man-shortlist for the Ballon d'Or Award.
