Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe have the potential to be even better than France icon Thierry Henry, says David Trezeguet.
Henry and Trezeguet were part of the France squad that led the country to World Cup success on home soil in 1998.
But with France seeking to go one step better at Russia 2018 after defeat in the Euro 2016 final to Portugal, Trezeguet has tipped Griezmann and Mbappe to develop into even more dangerous attackers than Arsenal icon Henry Les Bleus record scorer.
I think Griezmann has all the quality to overcome Thierry Henry, as Mbappe has too, Trezeguet said.
Because they are young, they are determinant and they are still growing as players.

Atletico Madrid missed the chance to leapfrog Real Madrid and finish second in LaLiga on the final day of the season, as Jorge Pascual scored Villarreal s last-gasp equaliser in a 2-2 draw.
Antoine Griezmann laid on two goals for Angel Correa after Nicolas Jackson put Villarreal ahead early on, but Axel Witsel s red card saw Diego Simeone s side come under mounting pressure, which told when Pascual converted two minutes into stoppage time.
That meant Atleti finished the season one point adrift of their city rivals in third, despite Los Blancos labouring to a 1-1 draw with Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
Pablo Barrios error was punished as Villarreal went ahead after nine minutes, the teenager s miscued header teeing up Jackson for a powerful finish across goal.

Marco Verratti insists he wants to stay at Paris Saint-Germain and is close to agreeing a new contract with the French champions.
The Italy international has established himself as one of Europe s finest young midfielders since joining from Pescara in 2012 and has been linked with a potential big-money move away from the Parc des Princes.
Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich have been credited with an interest, while former Barcelona captain Xavi has backed the Champions League holders to make a move for the 23-year-old.
Verratti s agent said earlier this month that a new deal with PSG was in the offing, however, the player himself has now stressed that his future is with Laurent Blanc s side.
It ll be an important year, both for PSG because we want to do …
Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao cruised to a seventh straight Chinese Super League title in style on Sunday, with a 5-1 hammering of Guizhou Zhicheng.
With two league games remaining, this victory gave them an unassailable nine-point lead over second-placed Shanghai SIPG, who went down 2-1 to Guangzhou R F.
It is Luiz Felipe Scolari s third successive title since replacing Fabio Cannavaro in 2015, although it may well be the Brazilian s last, with his contract due to expire.
With Scolari s future in China uncertain, both Thomas Tuchel and former Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti have been linked with the job.

Erling Haaland has quickly forged a reputation as one of the world s most feared strikers but the Borussia Dortmund superstar spoke about the career paths he would have taken had it not been for football.
And the two options the Norway international offered during a Twitter question and answer session could hardly have been more different…
A rapper or a farmer, Haaland offered in reply to the question posed by a fan.
Fans of Haaland will not be overly surprised by his musical aspirations, given back in 2016 he was a rapper in the band Flow Kingz and uploaded videos to YouTube.
But the 20-year-old is also not shy when it comes to manual labour and has spent time during the close season working on a potato farm, while he also posted pictures of himself c…
Alan Pardew may have earned another stay of execution after Fraizer Campbell snatched a 3-3 draw for Crystal Palace at relegation-threatened Hull City in the Premier League.
The hosts had been in front at the break courtesy of a contentious Robert Snodgrass penalty at a sparsely populated KCOM Stadium.
Palace levelled, also from the spot, when Christian Benteke stroked home after Snodgrass, who dived to win his own penalty, felled Wilfried Zaha just inside the area early in the second half.
Zaha put Palace ahead with a brilliant strike in the 70th minute, but Hull responded almost immediately, Adama Diomande netting courtesy of a dynamic solo effort of his own.
Hull regained the lead through Jake Livermore, the former Tottenham player sauntering unopp…
Patrice Evra has been hit with an immediate layoff and could face further sanction after getting involved in an altercation with supporters on Thursday, Marseille have confirmed.
Marseille s players were warming up before their Europa League match with Vitoria Guimaraes in Portugal when Evra was targeted by supporters with unkind chants.
Evra responded by vaulting the advertising boards and confronting the fans, who made their way down from the stands and approached the player.
The defender was carried back over the hoardings by a team-mate, before then aiming a kick at a Marseille fan s head and being dragged away again.
Evra was sent off as a result, becoming the first player to ever receive a red card before kick-off in a Europa League match.

The match will be played within round 27 of the Italian top flight.
Udinese
Udinese might ve hoped to be involved in this race in the early stages of the campaign, when their form had them very close to the top for a while. However, things in such surroundings got a bit too hot for them at one point, and they quickly slid down to the middle ranges of the table.
At the moment, Andrea Sottil s team are in 11th place with 35 points, with a c…
