'Mind-blowing' Mbappé most impressive teen I've seen, insists Giroud | OneFootball

Olivier Giroud insists he has never seen a teenager as good as France team-mate Kylian Mbappé and compared the young forward’s rise to that of Thierry Henry.

The PSG striker is still only 19 but is already considered one of the best frontmen in the game having helped his country lift the World Cup this summer in Russia.

After appearing alongside Giroud in Thursday’s 0-0 draw against Germany, the Chelsea forward cannot believe the maturity shown by the ‘mind-blowing’ youngster and admits he’s never seen anyone as good at the same age.

“How can you not be [impressed by Mbappe]?” Giroud told Le Parisien.

“He’s mind-blowing at his age and with his maturity. You ask yourself where is he going to stop.

“I have never seen a kid as good at the same age. It’s not been seen since Thierry Henry, perhaps.”
