Kante believes this Chelsea target is exceptional – a good replacement for Diego Costa?

One of the exceptional youngsters currently dazzling in the world of football is Monaco star player Kylian Mbappe. The 18-year-old is even regarded by some as the current best teenage footballer in the world. However, what everyone must agree on is that he is a promising star with a bright future, and he simply need good managers to groom.

The young teenager is one of the most coveted young players in Europe after a splendid season in the French league. And as expected, many top clubs all over Europe have began showing interest to get his signature. He had been linked with top teams like Chelsea, Real Madrid, Arsenal and even Manchester United, who have launched a 96 million pounds offer after an initial £69m bid was rejected by his Club’s management.

This season already, Mbappe has scored 19 times in 32 appearances for Monaco. And to crown it, he has been finally rewarded by France’s boss with his recent call-up to France’s senior squad.

Now, another outstanding player in the person of Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante, has heaped lots of praise on his compatriot Kylian Mbappe.

Kante confessed that the young Monaco forward is showing ‘exceptional’ talent for his age.

The former Leicester City defensive midfielder stated that Mbappe has shown his stuffs both in the Ligue 1 and in the Champions League, and expressed that his integration is helped by the presence of some Monaco players, agreeing that those who are there today deserve their place.
