#3 Erling Haaland (Borussia Dortmund)

Arguably the best young striker in the game at the moment, Erling Haaland is already a bonafide superstar who looks set to enjoy an excellent career at the highest level.

A prolific goalscorer, Haaland caught the attention of Europe's top clubs after his performances for Red Bull Salzburg. The Norway international moved to Borussia Dortmund in January 2020 despite heavy interest from Manchester United, and has barely set a foot wrong since joining the Bundesliga giants.

In 60 appearances in all competitions, the 21-year-old has scored 60 goals and provided 15 assists. Haaland is unlikely to remain with Borussia Dortmund for too long, though, with top clubs across Europe desperate to sign him.


#2 Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)

The Harry Kane saga rumbles on, with the striker looking to leave Tottenham Hotspur amid interest from Manchester City.

Kane enjoyed arguably his best campaign last season. In 35 Premier League appearances, the England international scored 23 goals and provided 14 assists, finishing the season as the top goalscorer and the highest assist provider.

Nevertheless, Tottenham Hotspur fared pretty poorly, failing to qualify for the Champions League or the Europa League.

Kane has said he wants to get his hands on silverware, so he is looking to leave the club to improve his chances for that. Manchester City, who have already signed Jack Grealish, are keen to sign Kane, and have already had a bid for the striker reportedly rejected by Spurs.


#1 Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich)

Robert Lewandowski is getting better with age, and it is evident he still has a lot to offer at the highest level.

One of the best players in the game at the moment, Lewandowski has been a phenomenal player for Bayern Munich. The Poland international joined the club from Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer in 2014, and has made 329 appearances in all competitions, scoring 294 goals and providing 65 assists.

The 32-year-old has won seven Bundesliga titles and a Champions League trophy with the club. Lewandowski was one of the key players in Bayern Munich's continental treble-winning season in 2019-20. Last season, he broke Gerd Muller's record of most goals (40) in a Bundesliga campaign as Bayern Munich won a record-extending ninth league title.
