As reported in an exclusive by The Sun, Manchester City have made Monaco star Kylian Mbappe their number one target this summer after a series of impressive performances in Ligue 1.

What's the story?

With Manchester City quite managing to sustain a title challenge this year, Pep Guardiola is on the hunt for significant reinforcements this summer and has targeted a player that could reviatalise their attack.

The Sun reckon Guardiola is interested in Monaco's teenage forward Mbappe, a player attracting attention as one of the best young players in Europe right now.

However, they face a battle to land their man despite being able to match the £50m valuation. Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid are all said to be keen in the report.

Is he that good?

Despite being the tender age of 18, Mbappe is already showing the kind of form that could make him a star at one of Europe's top clubs.

City will know all about him of course, he was one of the players who found the net at the Etihad in the first leg of their Last 16 clash last week. That was just one of five goals in his last five matches.

It's no surprise he's attracting the attention of Europe's top clubs and whoever is lucky enough to land him will likely have a potentially world class teenager on their hands.
