KYLIAN MBAPPÉ (19), FRANCE
It’s rare for a teenager to capture the hearts and minds of French football fans but Mbappé is undoubtedly the biggest sensation in Ligue 1.
He scored six goals in the Uefa Champions League last season to guide Monaco to the semifinals for the first time since 2004.
Paris Saint-Germain was quick to beat Arsenal to sign him, paying what could add up to a transfer fee of €180 million (R2,65 billion), making him the second-most expensive player in football history.
