Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has not been at his best in the last few months. After struggling at the start of the season, the right-back was dropped from Gareth Southgate's latest England squad.

With his participation in the Euros hanging by a thread at the moment, the 22-year-old superstar will be determined to bring his 'A' game in the next few months. Alexander-Arnold's performances have improved markedly in the last few weeks, with the English full-back looking like his old self once again.

Excellent on the ball and crucial to Liverpool's style of play, Alexander-Arnold will be looking to establish himself as one of the game's premier right-backs once again.

Another talented English youngster who has been tipped for great things, Jadon Sancho is one of the game's brightest wingers at the moment. The 20-year-old has been electric in the Bundesliga, UEFA Champions League and DFB Polkal this season, having scored 15 goals and assisted a further 13 goals.

Having been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United in the 2020 summer transfer window, Sancho has buckled down at Dortmund and continued to put in eye-catching performances for BVB.

Supremely skilled on the ball and blessed with excellent dribbling skills, Sancho could well be plying his trade in the Premier League next season.


#5 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) - €110 million

With 25 goals already this season for Liverpool, Mohamed Salah has not shown any signs of slowing down in this tough campaign for the Reds. A supreme goalscorer with a single-minded determination to find the back of the net, Mohamed Salah has been a rare bright spot in this dismal campaign and is currently the joint top scorer in the Premier League along with Harry Kane.

With rumors swirling around Salah's future, it will be interesting to see how the summer transfer window plays out for the Egyptian superstar. Still only 28, Salah is at the peak of his game and could dominate world football for at least another 3-4 years.

Undoubtedly Liverpool's best goalscorer, Jurgen Klopp will be counting on the 'Egyptian King' to guide his team to Champions League glory this season.


#4 Erling Haaland (Borussia Dortmund) - €110 million

Erling Haaland, along with Kylian Mbappe, will undoubtedly rule world football over the next decade. A complete striker, Haaland has been in sensational goalscoring form for Borussia Dortmund, having scored 40 goals in 37 appearancens for BVB.

Still only 20, Haaland, like Sancho, has been linked with a move away from Borussia Dortmund in the summer transfer window. European heavyweights like Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona have all been credited with an interest in the Norwegian international.

A potential future Ballon d'Or winner, Erling Haaland is rightly one of the most valuable players in world football at the moment.
