Kylian Mbappe might just be the brightest young star the football world has ever laid eyes on. Which has us puzzled as to why he's rated 5 points lower than his PSG counterpart, Neymar?!

Mbappe became a household name when he was purchased by Paris Saint Germaine for a earth-shattering fee of around £154,000,000 (including add-ons). It seemed a truly preposterous fee to pay for an 18 year old. In fact, PSG paid the fee largely based off of one successful season, in which Mbappe scored 15 goals in 29 appearances for Monaco.

Since then, Mbappe has proved for both club and country that he was worth every penny and then some. So far this season, he has six appearance in all competitions and six goals. While Neymar has games where everyone questions where all his hype comes from, Mbappe has games where we stare in bewilderment at how good he could become.

He's only 19 but he surely ranks amongst the world's top players already, so we can only wonder in awe and fear at where his glass ceiling is. Unless of course, you work for EA, in which case you think he's just alright.
