Following his incredible performances at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Kylian Mbappe has long been touted as the future of world football.As a teenager, Mbappe single-handedly fired France to their second World Cup triumph and the clamour and intrigue surrounding Mbappe has burgeoned ever since.

With serious pace to burn, electrifying speed with both feet and an ice cool temperament in front of goal, few strikers in world football have enjoyed the returns Mbappe has since he first burst onto the scene with AS Monaco back in 2017.

Those performances enticed Paris Saint Germain to part with an incredible 180 million euros for the most sought after player in world football at the time and whilst Mbappe has been unable to deliver the Champions League for PSG as yet – he has been prolific in French domestic football.

At international level, Mbappe’s influence remains consistently high and his goals will be vital once more as France defend their World Cup title in Qatar in 2022.

It is also hard to believe that Mbappe is still only 23 years of age and given his potential and standing within the game, any trading card associated to him has a hefty value, simply by virtue of what he could go on to achieve in his career.

Here is a rundown of some of the most valuable Kylian Mbappe soccer cards on the market:
