Vincent Kompany has placed Kylian Mbappe among the best players of the modern era, but believes he will only reach his very best level if he joins Manchester City.
The Paris Saint-Germain attacker put in a superb performance in France's World Cup opener on Tuesday, scoring one goal and setting up another as Les Bleus brushed Australia aside 4-1. On several occasions the 23-year-old pulled off breathtaking pieces of skill and athleticism, showcasing his ability to wow spectators like very few in the game can.
Former City captain Kompany provided punditry for the match on BBC Sport, and speaking after the match he was adamant that Mbappe is one of the greats.
