Kylian Mbappe may be one of the names on most club’s radars at the moment, but for now he is back preparing for a fresh Ligue 1 title assault with Monaco.

The 18-year-old was all smiles on his first day back at pre-season training as he chatted with Radamel Falcao and Djibril Sidibe during a series of running and ball drills.

The French striker was heavily linked with a £100 million move to Real Madrid earlier this summer, but looks set to remain in the south of France for the time being.

He is inevitably going to be the next most expensive footballer in the world, with rumours of a fee in excess of £104 million to attain his signature.

The star attacker is also wanted by Arsenal and PSG – who are prepared to match any bids.

Mbappe was in sensational form for the French Rivera side last season, scoring 26 goals and creating eight assists in 46 games.
