Cesc Fabregas Talks 'Phenomenon' Kylian Mbappe, Predicts He'll Be Best in World

Monaco midfielder Cesc Fabregas has predicted Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe will become the best player in the world.

Fabregas moved to Ligue 1 in January when he joined Mbappe's former side, and he was asked about the Frenchman in an interview with AS' Aritz Gabilondo.

He said of the 20-year-old:

"He's a phenomenon. He's clearly going to be the best player in the world in the future.

"I always think like a midfielder, and if I had him in front of me I'd be giving him assists all the time because he's so fast, explosive, but he's also very clever in slipping his markers.
