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.
"He has his timing down perfectly. [Thierry] Henry and Diego Costa were also brilliant at that.
