10 U-23 Players To Keep An Eye On During The World Cup

At just 19 years of age, Kylian Mbappé is the world's second most expensive player and has justified his enormous price tag since moving to Ligue 1 giants PSG, scoring 13 goals and racking up an impressive 8 assists as part of the French league's strongest attacking unit. He's already won all of France's major trophies and surely has many stellar years still ahead of him.

France have a lot of young talent, with Barcelona's Ousmane Dembélé another incredible player, along with Anthony Martial, Thomas Lemar and Benjamin Mendy all coming in at 23 years old or younger, but Mbappé is arguably the nation's most exciting and explosive player right now. His finishing, dribbling, and passing skills are breathtaking and Les Bleus will be relying on him to have a big impact at this summer's tournament.

Part of what makes Mbappé so lethal on the football pitch is his confidence. Despite his tender age, he goes into each match with a cool head and a self-assured attitude. Even in the biggest games, he plays as if he's down at the local park with his mates, and his strong mental game will be key in dealing with high pressure games this summer.
