France World Cup winner Yuri Djorkaeff believes Kylian Mbappe has earned himself a place among the best in the world with his performances in Russia.
Mbappe, already a rising star coming into the tournament after consecutive strong seasons as a teenager with Monaco and Paris-Saint Germain, announced himself to the world with thrilling performances in Russia to help lead Les Blues to the final against Croatia on Sunday.
The forward delivered a brace and won a penalty in France’s round of 16 victory over Lionel Messi and Argentina and has fared well in their successive victories over Uruguay and Belgium.
