1. Neymar: As a part of the superb Barcelona attack, he scored 39 goals as part of the fiery M-S-N attack in Barcelona’s victorious treble campaign last season. Neymar is fast, a bag of tricks and driven to become the best player in the world.
He is already one of the most important for his national team, Brazil. Neymar lived up to all the hype at the World Cup as he carried Brazil to the semi-finals in the FIFA World Cup at Brazil in 2014.o
He is sure to become one of the best in the coming years as he will keep on winning trophies with Barca and he will be sure to develop into the world’ best alongside Suarez and the present king, Lionel Messi.
2. Paul Pogba: The talented Frenchman left Manchester United in 2012 as he was not being given enough opportunities and he left for Juventus. He was immediately put into the first team alongside Pirlo and Vidal and the rest, as they say, is history.
He has grown a lot as a player since then, winning three consecutive Serie A titles and one Coppa Italia. He also played in last year’s UEFA Champions League final. As a result, he has become a hot property as Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester City tried to sign him in this transfer window.
At 22 years of age, he has the world at his feet and he undoubtedly have the talent to make it his own for the next 10 years.
3. Eden Hazard: Hazard was phenomenal throughout last season and fittingly, it was his goal against Crystal Palace that confirmed the league title. He thus helped Chelsea end a five-year drought for the English Premiership.
His ball-handling skills are beautiful and his passing is gradually approaching a level that could be said to be world, class. He is also very fast and every defender must think twice about tackling him.
He was also voted the PFA Players’ Player of the Year and won the FWA Player of the Year awards. As things are going it won’t be long before he wins the Balon D’or.
4. Mario Gotze: The German is fast and technically accomplished and at 23 years of age, he still has time on his side. He is getting better all the time and at a club like Bayern, he is bound to improve as he is surrounded by some of the best players in the world.
Like the others on this list, he has already accomplished so much. At the age of 22, the attacking midfielder had already won four Bundesliga titles in Germany, been to a Champions League final and scored a World Cup-winning goal.
As Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben grow older, Gotze can take over the next few years and become the best.
5. Memphis Depay: At 21 years of age, Memphis Depay is in the right place at the right time. He is at Manchester United, a club renowned for creating superstars as Christiano Ronaldo and David De Gea have shown in recent years. He is also a central player for the Holland National team, having already gone to the semifinals of the World Cup in 2014 in Brazil.
For his previous club PSV of Holland, he scored 22 goals from 30 games as they won the league title. He has just kicked started his Manchester United by scoring 2 goals and getting 1 assist for United against Club Brugge in the Champions League qualifiers.
As Man United try to build another great team, Depay can become the star of this team and perhaps, the next Ronaldo.
