It could be said that 2017 was the year of Kylian Mbappe.

The 19-year-old French forward burst onto the scene last year with a truly incredible season for Monaco.

It prompted Paris Saint-Germain to sign Mbappe on an initial loan that could turn into a permanent £166 million transfer. That would make him the second-most expensive player in football history - and he’s a teenager until December.

The striker, who has drawn comparisons with Thierry Henry, has scored 12 goals for PSG and his future is very, very bright.

But which young starlet will dominate 2018?
