'Mbappe will be the best player in the world' - PSG star is Messi & Ronaldo's heir, says Gudmundsson

The Burnley midfielder was back in action for Iceland but saw his side denied victory by the France wonderkid

Kylian Mbappe is the heir to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as the best player in the world, according to Iceland international Johann Berg Gudmundsson.

Burnley midfielder Gudmundsson saw the devastating impact Mbappe can make at close quarters last week after France came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Iceland.

Mbappe was brought on by France coach Didier Deschamps in the 60th minute and the World Cup winners rallied to earn the draw, with the 19-year-old the catalyst for the comeback.
