#3 Neymar Jr.

It is difficult to guess whether PSG are happy about spending that world record fee of €222 million on Neymar given how his career has panned out. Season after season, his return in terms of goal contributions has deteriorated. The Brazilian has also gone missing on big game occasions recently and that is a sign of worry.

However, the fun and entertainment quotient of Neymar's game has not eluded the player. He continues to be among the best dribblers at PSG, having attempted 77 and successfully completing 41 of them this season. The success rate is not the most impressive but that is exactly the kind of season it has been for the attacker.

The PSG star has tried to do his best but his execution has been wayward. The 29-year-old is currently out of the squad, nursing an ankle injury. He has only made 14 appearances in all competitions this season.


#2 Lionel Messi

It is still taking some getting used to in order to associate Lionel Messi's name with PSG and not Barcelona. However, whether it's Spain or France, the geography does not affect the greatness of the Argentine. Goal contribution wise, it has not been the most successful season for Messi as he has scored just once in the league this season.

However, the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner is the second best dribbler at PSG owing to his high success rate. He has completed 29 of his 44 attempted dribbles in Ligue 1. While in the Champions League, the player has executed 15 of his 20 dribbles perfectly.

That Messi has only managed one Ligue 1 goal for the French outfit has been a worrying factor for the Parisians. There has been speculation that the former Barcelona star is not entirely invested with his new team and still wishes for a move back to Spain.

But there is no question in the abilities of the Argentine and Pochettino will hope his goal tally gets a tangible boost moving forward this season.


#1 Kylian Mbappe

There is no guarantee that at this point next year, Kylian Mbappe will be a PSG player or not. However, as long as he is wearing that jersey, he is definitely the best at the club. The Frenchman has rushed to his team's rescue time and again this season and continues to produce consistent match-winning displays.

Mbappe has completed the most dribbles, not just in the PSG squad but in the whole of Ligue 1, with his tally of 59. In the Champions League, he is the third-best dribbler at this point having completed 21 dribbles with the knockout phases yet to begin.

There's no doubt why his current club and Real Madrid both believe that Mbappe could be the face of their club for many years to come. The 23-year-old has only missed two games for the French giants this season. Without him, their attack really looks fragile and lacks a cutting edge.

The proof is his 19 goals and 18 assists in 28 games in all competitions this season. Massive player!
