Kylian Mbappe is destined for great things
France have some of Europe’s most coveted youngsters coming through the ranks at various clubs across the globe. From Ousmane Dembele to Moussa Dembele (Celtic), we have read, watched and celebrated many, if not all of these prodigious talents making thier way into the Les Blues setup.
However, one player has taken this season to announce his arrival to the world. At 18 years of age, Kylian Mbappe has 17 goals and 10 assists in 31 games for Monaco in all competition. In the absence of Falcao, like last night, the youngster has risen to the occasion and delivered the goods.
He scored against City in the reverse fixture back in February and again found the back of the net last night. His stellar performances this season have led to comparisons with Arsenal and France legend Thierry Henry but if the 18-year-old keeps coming up with performances like these, then who would argue against the comparisons?
