Arguably the best right-back in world football right now, Trent Alexander-Arnold has played a major role in Liverpool's tremendous success in recent years. The 22-year-old Scouser has been one of the most consistent performers for Jurgen Klopp in the last few seasons.

Extremely gifted on the ball, Alexander-Arnold has an uncanny knack of picking out the right passes. His crosses cause plenty of problems to the opposition defence and he even broke the Premier League record for most assists by a defender last season.

With Liverpool fighting for top honors once again this season, Alexander-Arnold will be hoping to lift even more silverware with his boyhood club.


#6 Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City) - €120 million

Undoubtedly one of the most complete midfielders in world football at the moment, Kevin De Bruyne is the jewel in Pep Guardiola's Manchester City crown. The 29-year-old Belgian is arguably the best player in the Premier League and he is capable of unlocking even the most rigid of opposition defences.

With 8 assists already in the Premier League this campaign, the Manchester City superstar is all set to have another stellar season. Blessed with excellent passing ability, vision and shooting ability, the Belgian superstar will be hopeful of guiding Pep Guardiola's team to major honors once again.


#5 Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur) - €120 million

Harry Kane has taken his game to the next level under Jose Mourinho. Capable of finishing goals and setting them up for teammates with equal ease, England's captain is a nightmare for opposition defenders.

The 27-year-old striker has formed a wonderful partnership with Heung Min-Son and together, the duo have wreaked havoc in the Premier League. A clinical finisher who always seems to know where the back of the net is, Kane has added another facet to the game and is now comfortable dropping back as well.

With the top teams in Europe keeping an eye on the talismanic Tottenham striker, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for Harry Kane.


#4 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) - €120 million

Already one of Liverpool's greatest ever forwards, Mohamed Salah has firmly established himself as an elite level attacker with some stunning displays in the last few seasons.

The Egyptian King has started this season in fine form as well having already found the back of the net an astonishing 13 times in 15 Premier League appearances so far.

The Liverpool superstar caused some controversy with his comments when he said that he would be open to a move to either Barcelona or Real Madrid. It will be interesting to see if the Spanish giants make a move to sign one of the best players in world football at the moment.
