The Monaco youngster would fit perfectly at Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham Hotspur have an eye for signing exciting young talent and they would be wise to make a move for AS Monaco teenager Kylian Mbappe before someone else swoops in first.
The 18-year-old forward is making waves in Ligue 1 this season, scoring eight goals and providing seven assists in 22 appearances, and when you consider the vast majority of those outings have come for the bench, his talent is abundantly clear.

Mbappe also has seven goals in 11 appearances for France’s under-19 side and here at HITC we reported at the end of last year that Tottenham were keeping a close eye on the youngster.
So, no doubt, are the great and the good of the game and Tottenham may have to act fast if they want to secure the teenager’s signature in due course.
In many ways Mbappe is the perfect Tottenham signing.
He is still extremely young, meaning that his value is only likely to increase the better and more experienced he gets.
He is a versatile forward who can operate out wide if required, enabling Spurs to have another viable goal-scoring option with Vincent Janssen failing to fulfil his potential thus far, forcing an overreliance on Harry Kane.
And he is also much more than a goal-scorer, as his six assists in just 16 league games this season prove, suggesting he could develop an effective partnership with Kane were he to move to White Hart Lane.

Mbappe would not come cheap, but his contract expires in the summer of 2019, meaning he may not generate the price tag of many of the other sought after forwards this summer.
