Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has declared PSG ace Kylian Mbappe as the best striker at the World Cup.

Drogba wrote for the BBC Sport: "For me, a complete striker is someone who can create an assist as well as score - someone who can change the game within one action.

"I am going to tell you how I became that type of player myself, but I don't think there are many of them at this World Cup.

"Some teams even prefer to play without a striker at all, but in the big moments I always think you need someone to finish the actions, as well as start them.

"England have Harry Kane, who I love to I watch, but France's Kylian Mbappe is the player who stands out as the being the best at doing all of those things I have mentioned, all together.

"If you put Mbappe in a centre-forward's position, he will score goals but still come back and try and make chances for other people - you can see he was doing that a lot in France's first two games in Qatar.

"He can expose defenders one-on-one with his pace but I think the fact he has played in different forward positions for his club, Paris St-Germain, has helped to make his game more rounded - to become more complete, if you like.

"That is how it worked for me too. I became a complete striker, if you will allow me to call myself that, because I learned how to develop my game and give myself more tools to use on the pitch."
