Kylian Mbappe Reveals Who's The Best Young Player In The World

Kylian Mbappe Reveals Who's The Best Young Player In The World

Most people might actually say it was the PSG forward but he's humble enough to reckon it's someone else.

Kylian Mbappe is the most expensive teenager in the history of football but he's named one of his teammates as the most talented youngsters in football.

It seems mad that Kylian Mbappe is still only 19. Sure we've only really known about him for the last two seasons but he's done so much in such a short amount of time that it's easy to forget just how young he actually is.

The Frenchman is one of PSG's main men already and this summer will be one of France's main forwards at the World Cup and if he fires on full cylinders then Didier Deschamps have a really good chance of winning the tournament.

Mbappe started and impressed during France's pre tournament friendly against Italy on Friday night, winning 3-1.

After the game the former Monaco forward was full of praise for his teammate Ousmane Dembele and referred to the Barcelona man as the best young player, saying:

"It's a promising partnership. We get on well, we appreciate each other.

"I've always wanted to play with great players. I have two top players [next to me]: Antoine, top 10; Ousmane, the best young player in the world, for me.

"We all try to help each other."

Mbappe wasn't on the scoresheet at the Allianz Riviera in Nice but Dembele was, with an absolute beauty, and their other strike partner Antoine Griezmann scored from the spot with Samuel Umtiti opening the scoring.

And in fairness Dembele's goal was a little bit special:

Dembele is just 21 and was the second most expensive player in the world until Philippe Coutinho joined him at Barcelona in January and then there's Mbappe's permanent move to PSG to be done as well.

The former Borussia Dortmund winger struggled with injuries for much of his first season at Barcelona and is now being linked with both Liverpool and PSG.

He could help France to World Cup glory and that front three of him, Mbappe and Griezmann could be the best at the finals.
