AS Monaco superkid Kylian Mbappe refuses to get carried away with the hype buzzing around him.

With Tottenham and Arsenal tracking him closely, Mbappe struck a hat-trick on Saturday in victory over Metz.

Asked about all the rumours, the teen insists he'll stay grounded.

"Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Neymar are phenomenal players. I am still far from the level of those three," said Mbappe. "I scored a hat-trick, thanks to a top performance by the whole team.

"Did I expect this? No. There was nothing special about it. I felt just right."
