Mbappe has become a household name in football since bursting onto the scene with Monaco, before he moved to PSG in the summer of 2017, and has now won three consecutive Ligue 1 titles in the French capital.
The 21-year-old was one of France’s lynchpins that won the 2018 World Cup in Russia, scoring three goals en route to the final, before becoming the second teenager to score in a World Cup final after Brazilian Pele in 1968.
Mbappe became the youngest player ever to be nominated for the Ballon d’Or when he was included in the 30 nominees for the prestigious award in 2017 at just 18 years old.
In an interview with ESPN, Herrera insisted that the Paris-born star has the potential to reach greater heights in the near future.
"To be honest, what I can say about Kylian is that sometimes in training it looks like he’s training with kids," the Spaniard said.
"The way he runs, he just leaves you behind. It looks like we are kids and he’s Usain Bolt!
"In football, you often see very quick players who leave players behind.
"But with Kylian, when he gets through on goal, he has the capacity to stop, be calm and to score a lot of goals.
"And that is not easy, to find the balance between the speed, strength and calmness.
"That’s why I think by 2025 he will be one of the contenders for the Ballon d’Or or even the champion."
