Top 5 footballers this season so far

#3 Kylian Mbappe (France, PSG)

France v Croatia - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia Final

The sensational french youngster - he has just turned 20 last December - started the season as a World Cup winner. Mbappe was adjudged the Young Player of the Tournament at the 2018 FIFA World Cup and a lot was expected of him this season. True to the hype, the Frenchman has not disappointed, already scoring 17 goals from 21 games in all competitions for PSG.

In the Ligue 1, Mbappe has 13 goals from 12 appearances and has been one of PSG's most potent weapons. Mbappe is averaging 3.9 shots per game, the third highest in this list. He is averaging a relatively low 1.5 key passes, even though he has 10 assists to his name in all competitions.

However, Mbappe's main strength has been his speed and dribbling abilities, which has caused the opposition uncountable problems so far. The Frenchman is averaging 2.3 dribbles per game and has been fouled approximately 1.8 times in each game.

Kylian Mbappe has been on fire this season and is undoubtedly one of the top five footballers in the world right now.
