Football Manager 2018: 20 Wonderkids You Will Need To Sign

3. Kylian Mbappe

Is your club's bank balance the equivalent of a small island nation's GDP? If so, Kylian Mbappe is the man for you.

The 19-year-old shot to prominence by scoring six Champions League goals in as many games for Monaco in 2017, and he is already being compared to Thierry Henry. Arsenal are reportedly willing to pay as much as £75 million for his services this summer, but he's one of the most exciting players in world football at the moment, and this should be reflected in Football Manager 2018.

We're not even going to pretend that Mbappe will be easy to acquire, but he'll definitely be among the game's most exciting wonderkids, and if recent reports that he wants to stay at Monaco in real-life are accurate, getting hold of him shouldn't be impossible if you have the money.
