Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak has named Kylian Mbappe as the best footballer in the world at the moment.
Even though Real Madrid didn’t win the Champions League and are second in La Liga, Mbappe has played really well in his first season with the club. His talent continues to shine.
The French star moved to Real Madrid from PSG in the summer of 2024. He joined as a free agent after spending several years at the Paris club.
At first, Mbappe struggled a bit with his new role as a centre-forward. He was more used to playing from the left wing. But with time, he got used to the new position and started performing better.
This season, Mbappe has scored 36 goals and provided 4 assists in 52 matches for Real Madrid. He has also helped the team win the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup.
During an interview with Sky Sports, Isak was asked to name who he thinks is the best footballer in the world right now.
He replied without any hesitation, saying: “Best player in the world right now? Mbappe.”
Isak himself has been in great form, scoring 27 goals in 40 games this season. He also played a big role in helping Newcastle reach the Carabao Cup final.
