Kylian Mbappe needs to leave Paris St Germain if he is to make an impact on the global stage like Ballon d'Or winners Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, former France international Nicolas Anelka said.

Mbappe, who scored 42 goals in all competitions for PSG last season, has a contract at the French club until June 2022 but has been linked with a move to La Liga's Real Madrid.
