Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak has praised Kylian Mbappe, naming the French forward as the best player in the world at the moment.

Despite Real Madrid’s early exit from the Champions League and a second-place standing in La Liga, Mbappe has shone in his debut season at the Bernabeu. After joining from PSG as a free agent in the summer of 2024, Mbappe adjusted to a central forward role, a shift from his preferred position on the left wing.

His efforts have been impressive, with 36 goals and four assists in 52 appearances across all competitions. Additionally, he helped secure the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Intercontinental Cup for Madrid.

Isak, who has also been in top form this season, was quick to pick Mbappe when asked who he believes is the best player right now. “Mbappe,” the Sweden international said without hesitation. Isak has scored 27 goals in 40 matches this season and played a key role in Newcastle’s Carabao Cup victory.
