With the departure of Kylian Mbappé from Ligue 1’s spotlight, the race is on to find the next top player to succeed him at the UNFP Trophies. **Mbappé, known for his multiple titles as the league’s top scorer and player,** has left a void in the championship that needs filling.

Various players have stepped up to the challenge, with names like **Ousmane Dembélé, Mason Greenwood, Rayan Cherki, Jonathan David,** and Monaco’s promising young talents **Akliouche and Ben Seghir** making their mark. However, one player has emerged as a clear leader: **Achraf Hakimi.**

Hakimi: The pivotal player of Ligue 1

**Achraf Hakimi**, showing exceptional consistency with Paris Saint-Germain, has become a force to reckon with this season. His improvements in defense, coupled with his relentless offensive drives, have made him a standout.

“He’s somewhat dominating the league,” Giuly expressed in an interview with Téléfoot. “His performances at the start of this season, in terms of gameplay and his runs, are intense and robust. This builds on what he achieved last year. He is the key player for PSG and indeed for our Ligue 1.”
