da fezbet: A wide attacking midfielder with pace and technical prowess emerging at Monaco, it’s only natural comparisons have been made between Kylian Mbappe and French footballing hero, Thierry Henry.
da doce: Arsene Wenger, a man who should know plenty about the latter, has already declared the pair “similar”, and although there have been a few players down the years who failed to justify the moniker, the 18-year-old really does look the business.

Indeed, the teenage sensation has been causing quite a stir this season after really nailing down a first-team spot at Stade Louis II, which has led to, according to the Mirror, interest from Spurs and Arsenal, among others. A hat-trick vs. Metz on the weekend has only got tongues wagging further, so we have crunched his stats for this season to show that he really is worth the hype…
As the numbers show, the starlet has contributed directly to 12 Ligue 1 goals this term, netting a staggering seven himself. On top of that, he’s created 15 chances and hit 76% of his 25 shots on target, hinting that he does have the composure of a certain Henry.
Anthony Martial left Monaco for the Premier League in 2015 and has been a success at Manchester United, so Spurs and Arsenal may want to splash the cash this summer to land Mbappe.
