Mbappe wins World Cup Young Player award

France forward Kylian Mbappe has won the Best Young Player award for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

The award caps a roller-coaster 12 months for the 19-year-old Mbappe, who became just the fourth teenager ever to play in a World Cup final.

And he became just the second teenager ever to score in a final when he scored France’s fourth during their 4-2 victory over Croatia.

The award can only be given to players aged 21 or younger so there wasn’t too much competition for Mbappe but he was still a worth winner.

He follows in the footsteps of international team-mate Paul Pogba who won the award four years ago.
