Kylian Mbappe is among the best players in the world right now, and in a few years will surely be regarded as the best. Many icons from the legendary Pele to Napoli manager Carlo Ancelotti have agreed to this notion, and the day is not far when he will be crowned the Ballon d'Or winner. Now, even Iceland and Burnley winger Gudmundsson agrees.
