He is young and when you are young you need to play and being at Monaco is just perfect for him." Mbappe has been likened by some to Thierry Henry, who starred for Arsenal, Barcelona and France after being converted from a winger to a central attacker by Arsene Wenger, who took him from Juventus to north London. And while he is wary of increasing the pressure on the teenager, Pires acknowledged the similarities are unquestionable. "He is very, very good," he said.  "Of course you can compare Mbappe and Henry, but I do not like [this comparison] as Thierry Henry was Thierry Henry."Mbappe is the same, though, as Henry, very similar, good quality and finishing, very fast, clever on the pitch."Mbappe made his senior France debut off the bench in the World Cup qualifying win over Luxembourg on Saturday.</blockquote>
