Dembele is the best young player in the world, says Mbappe

France striker Kylian Mbappe reckons Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele is the best young player in the world after he scored in France’s 3-1 win over Italy on Friday.

Dembele curled home France’s third goal of the night with a brilliant finish after Samuel Umtiti and Antoine Griezmann had also scored.

The Barcelona star looks to be developing a great relationship with Mbappe in the France attack and the PSG star was full of praise for his team-mate after the game.

“For me, Ousmane Dembélé is the best young player in the world.”
