The Champions League this season has helped to draw the attention of soccer fans across the globe and the same is happening with the Europa League as football enthusiasts continue to enjoy top-class entertainment from their favorite players and teams on the continent.
The Europa League, despite its status as Europe's second-tier tournament to the Champions League, never falls short in terms of producing exciting moments, interesting clashes and unbelievable performances from our beloved footballers.
Many elite teams are currently participating in the tournament which has helped in bringing a number of world-class players to the competition and we wait to see them run riot and entertain us with their incredible talents during the course of the competition.
Below, we take a look at 4 top superstars that will light up the Europa league this season:
#4 Wissam Ben Yedder
After displaying his incredible goalscoring prowess in the UEFA Champions League last season where he bagged an amazing 8 goals in 9 appearances for Sevilla, French international, Wissam Ben Yedder has come into Europe's second-tier club tournament this season and all eyes will be on him to prove himself in the continent once again.
The striker has entered into the Europa League campaign in electrifying form and has already added 2 goals to his name in 2 appearances for the Andalusians as they come hunting for the prestigious trophy once again.
After winning the tournament a record 5 times, there is no doubt Sevilla remain one of the favorites to emerge victorious this season and with the Spanish side expected to go far in the competition this term, only time will tell how many goals he will score during the course of the European campaign.
#3 Gonzalo Higuain
Argentine superstar Gonzalo Higuain left Juventus for AC Milan in a deal that saw Leonardo Bonucci move the other way this summer, and with the Rossoneri failing to qualify for the UEFA Champions League, the striker has found himself playing in Europe's second-tier tournament this season.
Higuain has been one of the most impressive attackers on the continent for the past few years, enjoying prolific campaigns during his time with the likes of Real Madrid, Napoli, and Juventus before switching to the San Siro during the summer transfer window.
The Argentine has been a real force in the Europa League since the tournament began this term, scoring 2 impressive goals in 2 appearances to help the Italian side to achieve a brilliant start to their European campaign this season.
#2 Eden Hazard
After failing to help Chelsea finish in the top 4 of the English Premier League table during the previous campaign, Belgian international Eden Hazard has also joined other top superstars in the UEFA Europa League this season.
A highly talented player with immense technical skills and a great work ethic, Hazard will be a real threat to opposition defenders in the competition this season, with his ability to beat opposition defenders using his sheer pace and incredible dribbling skills as well as sending the ball into the back of the net, thanks to his brilliant finishing.
The playmaker has taken his game to a very high level following the appointment of Maurizio Sarri at Stamford Bridge this season and he remains one of the few superstars to keep an eye on in the Europa League during the campaign.
#1 Pierre Emerick Aubameyang
Another top superstar that will light up the Europa League this season with his extraordinary talent and spectacular performances is Arsenal striker, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang.

A pacey striker with great finishing skills, Aubameyang will run riot in the Europa League this season. The attacker has been on fire ever since the campaign began, recording 6 amazing goals to his name for the Gunners across all competitions and he will be looking forward to getting even better as time goes on.
