# Kylian Mbappe

Mbappe is one of the few world class talents emerging from France 

The 19-year old Frenchman is the most in-demand player in world football at the moment. The winger/striker decimated defences in France and Europe this past season and that has attracted the attention of the biggest spenders in Europe, Real Madrid. The Spanish champions have expressed their interest in the attacker and if some news reports are to be believed, they have already offered the youngster a starting spot in the first eleven.

Mbappe was virtually unknown in Europe when the season began and was given an overall rating of 71 at the beginning of FIFA 17. Eight impressive months later FIFA, through various upgrades, increased his rating to 79, with a potential rating of 92 which is an indication of how highly regarded he is as a player.

Mbappe was the spearhead of a youthful Monaco team which reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and while the team has already Bernardo Silva to Manchester City, Mbappe is still at the club. Regardless of whether he moves to another club or not, his profile in football has been immeasurably raised and so will his FIFA 18 rating. Expect him to line up for Monaco in the next FIFA edition with an overall of around 83-84 points.
