10 Early Favourites For World Cup 2018 Best Young Player Award

One of the most expensive players in the world and arguably football's brightest young prospect right now, Kylian Mbappé is only 19 and already has two league titles and two cup wins to his name, as well as playing for France 14 times and scoring 3 goals so far.

A breathtakingly talented young forward, Mbappé can play on either wing or through the centre and contributed 21 goals and 11 assists in all competitions for PSG this season. With talents that belie his tender age, the Parisian-born striker is a great finisher, able to score with both feet and his head, and has justifiably earned comparisons to French legend Thierry Henry.

Alongside Ousmane Dembélé and other talented French stars like Paul Pogba, Nabil Fekir, Thomas Lemar and Corentin Tolisso, Mbappé is part of a youthful and vibrant French squad that many are tipping to win the World Cup this summer. He'll surely start most, if not all of his team's games at the tournament and seems a real favourite to win the Best Young Player award.
