Gary Lineker has taken to Twitter to hail Kylian Mbappé, after watching the forward impress for France against Hungary.

Despite watching Hungary take a 1-0 lead, the 22-year-old caught the eye of Lineker and many others with his performance during the first half.

The Paris Saint-Germain striker created a wonderful chance for Karim Benzema with a deft flick, which showed his footballing intelligence.

You can see what Lineker had to say about France’s No.10 below.

Whenever Mbappé takes to the field, you’d be foolish not to feast your eyes on him – he rarely fails to excite.

The 43-cap France international can mix up his game expertly.

While some might feel he’s most effective when running into space and committing defenders, his flick for Benzema proved he has many strings to his bow.

Sadio Mané, Mohamed Salah and Kylian Mbappé?

Could we see the 42-goal phenomenon lining up alongside Sadio Mané and Mohamed Salah at Liverpool soon?

Well, if The Transfer Window Podcast is to be trusted, PSG’s No.7 is keen on a move to Jürgen Klopp’s side.

Mbappé – who earns £413,000-a-week at the Parc des Princes – only has one more year on his contract, and the Parisians surely wouldn’t want to lose him for nothing.

So, if he doesn’t sign a new deal soon, you’d imagine PSG might start to panic, and could cash in on their £165.7 million signing.

Liverpool will surely be paying very close attention to his situation.

A player of Mbappé otherworldly qualities doesn’t become available very often.
