PSG and Spain star Ander Herrera has tipped Kylian Mbappe to win the Ballon d`Or soon

The French star’s speed has been likened to Usain Bolt`s and according to Herrera, that makes them look like kids when training with them.

The 21-year-old through his effort and consistent performances has been an integral member of the French national team and was part of the World Cup winning squad in 2018.

Herrera consider the youngster to occupy that talent bracket, conceding that Mbappe sometimes make colleagues look ‘foolish’ in training sessions with his agility.

"Sometimes in training, it is like he is training with kids. The way he runs, the way he moves, he leaves you behind him,” he told ESPN.

"It looks like we are kids, 12 years old, and he is Usain Bolt. And when he is in front of the goalkeeper he has the capacity to stop and be cold and to score a lot of goals. That's not easy.

"He has the balance between the speed, the strength and the calmness to score goals. In 2025, he could be the Ballon d'Or winner."

Herrera snubbed the transfer speculation surrounding Neymar and disclosed that the gossips are means employed by the media “to kill him.”

“He is one of the big surprises I have found in my career because when the media speaks it is not always positive. They are always trying to find a way to kill him.

"But I found a guy who is happy every day, that is trying to make the group strong. He organizes dinners at his house so we can be together and he tries to win us as many trophies as possible.

"He is smiling every day and creating a good atmosphere in the team. He told me he was happier than ever in the club. It's like I read about a different player than the one that I found.

"I understand that all the people want to talk about him, maybe because of his hair or the way he dresses."
