Messi and Ronaldo have dominated the world stage for over a decade but both players are now heading towards careers.

And the former Arsenal manager believes Mbappe, who has scored 90 goals in 120 games for Paris Saint-Germain, will be the next top star in world football.

‘Lionel Messi… we’ve never seen players like that who can absolutely be creative in any tight situation,’ Wenger told talkSPORT.

These players are now getting to an end – Ronaldo and Messi.

‘It’s now about the next geenration and the next generation may be French. At the moment, the leader could be Mbappe. Of course Neymar, we know.

‘But England I believe has a good chance. Now they are doing very well at youth level. ‘They have done well with Gareth Southgate at the World Cup.

 I was hoping at the European Championship they would be one of the contenders.’
