The prestigious prize, which is presented to the best player in Europe under the age of 21, has been won by some illustrious names in recent years, including Paul Pogba and Isco, with Mbappe the latest winner.
Mbappe broke onto the scene in spectacular fashion for Monaco last season as he helped the French club to win the Ligue 1 title and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, which earned him a move to PSG, initially on loan. NaijaBet.com
