French football is on the verge of another major breakthrough as Presnel Kimpembe has broken the country's ladder to become one of the most talented defenders in Europe.
The 22-year-old defender, who has already won several caps for France, made his name during a loan spell with Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain last season and he has continued to impress this campaign.
Kimpembe, who joined PSG from Le Havre in 2015, was initially tipped to be a promising young talent but it took a move to the capital to unlock his full potential.
He has been a key player for PSG this season, helping them win the league title and reaching the final of the Champions League, where they were narrowly beaten by Real Madrid.
His performances have earned him praise from all corners of the game and he is now being compared to some of the greatest defenders of all time.
One of his biggest admirers is former France captain Thierry Henry, who said: "I think Presnel Kimpembe will be one of the best defenders of all time."
But even if he does not achieve that level of success, Kimpembe's rise to stardom is a testament to the hard work and dedication that he has shown throughout his career.
He has always had a passion for football and he has never shied away from working hard to improve his skills.
And his achievements speak for themselves - he has already established himself as one of the top defenders in the world and there is no doubt that he will continue to do so for many years to come.
