Kylian Mbappe has taken the world by storm since his arrival

Rank in 2016: -

Kylian Mbappe is a new addition to the list albeit not a surprising one. The Frenchman announced himself to the football world with impressive displays for AS Monaco and has been repeating his feats following his move to Paris Saint Germain.

Mbappe grabbed the Golden Boy award in 2017, beating Ousmane Dembele and Marcus Rashford in the process. Also, he became the youngest player to be nominated for the Ballon d'Or at the age of eighteen.

At Parc Des Princes, he seems to be under no pressure in spite of giants like Neymar and Edinson Cavani playing by his side. His impressive displays as a goal-scorer and a playmaker have continued and PSG will have no regrets after making him the costliest teenager in the history of the game for £166 million.

The World Cup 2018 is approaching fast and it will be exciting to see if Kylian Mbappe can deliver equally well for his country as he has done for his respective clubs.
