France will go into the 2022 World Cup as one of the favourites to win the competition.

Les Bleus are the defending champions having beaten Croatia in the final in 2018.

France have a ridiculous amount of talent and are spearheaded by the phenomenal Kylian Mbappe.

Mbappe, still just 23, is one of the best players in the world. He's already a superstar and It's scary to think he's not even in his prime yet.

Ahead of the finals in Qatar, Transfermarkt have posted an image showing the most valuable XI of French players aged 23 or under.

Mbappe features in a ridiculously strong side. View it below...

GK: Illan Meslier (Leeds United)

Meslier, just 22, has been Leeds' first-choice goalkeeper for the past few years. He made 143 saves in the Premier League this season, the most of any player.

ST: Amine Gouiri (Nice)

Gouiri has thrived since making the move from Lyon to Nice in 2020. He recorded 22 goal contributions (12 goals, 10 assists) this season.

France are going to be very, very good for many years to come. That is for sure.
