An Argentine names Kylian Mbappé the best player in the world ahead of Messi

With Kylian Mbappé off to a flying start this season, an Argentine is convinced: he sees him as the best player in the world.

Jorge Valdano, a former player, coach, and executive at Real Madrid, has been closely following Kylian Mbappé's progress in the famous white shirt. For him, the ex-PSG star is currently the most complete footballer on the planet.

"For me, he's the best player in the world right now. The most complete player, because he’s in his prime. We’ll see if Lamine (Yamal) can keep up his current level for a few more years," declared Jorge Valdano.

At the start of this season, Kylian Mbappé has already racked up 14 goals in 11 matches across all competitions.
