Mbappe is currently in blistering form with nine goals from his last seven Ligue 1 appearances, a season-record seven consecutive matches with at least one goal scored, and now has 27 goals for the campaign — nearly double his previous best term tally of 15 with Monaco back in 2016-17.

Football legend Pele told Kylian Mbappe on Tuesday that he believes the French World Cup winner can emulate his own achievement of scoring 1 000 career goals.

The 78-year-old Brazilian claims to have netted over 1 000 goals in his career, while Mbappe has so far managed 103 in total.

“It’s possible, I scored exactly 1 025, so 1 000 goals is possible for him,” Pele told AFP in Paris, where he met Mbappe at an event sponsored by Hublot.

Mbappe, who last year became only the second teenager to score in a World Cup final after Pele in France’s 4-2 victory over Croatia, played down Pele’s comments.

🗣 Cristiano Ronaldo: “How many players are capable of playing at the highest level for more than 10 years? Only two. Me and Messi.”

🗣 Lionel Messi: “The best 5 players in the world? Hazard, Neymar, Suárez, Mbappé, Agüero. I exclude Ronaldo alongside myself in this list.” pic.twitter.com/EWg87s7TmR— Football Tweet (@Football__Tweet) April 3, 2019

Pele has previously tipped Mbappe to follow in his footsteps ahead of PSG teammate and Brazil superstar Neymar, who will return to training on Wednesday for on-field tests after 10 weeks on the sidelines because of a foot injury.

Pele believes that Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe can develop into the world’s best player without leaving the Ligue 1 champions amid regular links with Real Madrid.
