As recognized by his 2017 Golden Boy award and current standing as the second most expensive player ever, 19-year-old French phenom Kylian Mbappe is the most exciting talent in world football. He’s the youngest-ever French goalscorer at the World Cup and the second teenager to score two goals in a World Cup match, joining Pele in that regard.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward only made his professional debut in December of 2015 and hadn’t represented France until March of 2017, but comparisons to the Brazilian Ronaldo are looking more favorable by the day.

When I go to training, I am always in a good mood. It is a bit like I am aware of the fact that I am living something of a waking dream.”
