The French attacker may well have only played in France, but his performances in the Champions League and the World Cup show that he is in that top-bracket of player.
Interestingly, Mbappe has been linked with a move to Arsenal this week as there has been chat about the PSG star wanting to emulate Thierry Henry in north London.
Speaking on The Rest is Football, Micah Richards has been discussing Mbappe and his abilities, and he’s claimed that the striker is indeed the best player in the world, stating that he can turn a game on its head in the way a player like Harry Kane can’t.

Micah Richards says Kylian Mbappe is the best player in the world
Richards shared his verdict on the attacker.
“Mbappe is the most complete forward, Kane is up there in terms of link-up play, passing and scoring, Mbappe can turn a game on its head. His skill, his touch. He’s the most complete player in that position in the world. He’d be my number one player in the world without a doubt,” Richards said.
Incredible
Mbappe will always have his doubters due to the fact he’s only ever played in Ligue 1, but just look at what he’s been doing in the Champions League and in the World Cup.
He’s arguably been the Man of the Match in two consecutive World Cup finals, and he has 12 World Cup goals already by the age of 25 – that puts him up there with some of the best players ever.
Whether or not you agree that Mbappe is the best player in the world right now, it has to be said that he is a truly world-class talent.
