France international Kylian Mbappe has smashed home 25 goals for Monaco this season.

Kylian Mbappe should snub the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona this summer.
At least that’s the verdict of BT Sport pundit Rio Ferdinand.
Mbappe has enjoyed a brilliant breakout season with Ligue 1 outfit Monaco.
And his form under Leonardo Jardim has attracted interest from a host of top clubs.
Real Madrid are thought to be Mbappe’s favoured destination if he moves.
Meanwhile, Barcelona, Manchester United and Arsenal are said to be after him too.
Ferdinand reckons Mbappe should follow Ousmane Dembele’s lead to reach the top though.
He said:
“You look at [Ousmane] Dembele. Dembele is a huge talent.
“[He] went to Dortmund and you have to say, with respect, Dortmund’s probably at the second tier of top European clubs, so he gets football. Maybe that’s a route this guy, Mbappe, might need to take.
“Because if he goes to a Real Madrid, Barca [Barcelona] etcetera, he’s really not gonna play every game. He’s gonna be a squad player.
And that’s from going from playing every week and having the adulation and the focus that he’s had this season, I think that’ll be disheartening.”
