Good passers are always appreciated in football. Excellent vision leads to finding better opportunities on the field, but there are very few players who are able to combine both vision and passing.
Such world-class players are always in demand. The ability to spot a player and provide an inch-perfect pass is obviously a very desirable skill, and managers love players who are able to do that on a regular basis.
Usually, such ability is found in midfielders, but certain forwards and defenders boast such talent as well. On that note, we look at the 5 footballers with the best vision in world football right now (2021).
#5 Toni Kroos (Real Madrid)
One of the best midfielders of this century, Toni Kroos has been world-class for quite some time now.
A prodigious talent, Kroos started his professional career with Bayern Munich. The midfielder made his name as an excellent passer and a metronomic midfield presence, capable of dictating play with his ability on the ball. A highly technical player, the Germany international was surprisingly sold to Real Madrid in 2014 for £22.5 million.
Kroos has excelled with Los Blancos. The 31-year old has been a consistent starter for the club since joining, and has won two La Liga titles and three Champions League trophies, apart from three Bundesliga titles and a Champions League trophy with Bayern Munich. With his national team, Kroos has won the World Cup.
#4 Paul Pogba (Manchester United)
Paul Pogba's Manchester United spell continues to garner mixed reactions, but there is no denying that the midfielder has been one of the club's best players in the first two games of the current season.
Pogba returned to Manchester United for a then world-record fee of £94.5 million in 2016, but his performances have often been questioned since then. The France international is physically gifted and technically excellent, but remains a frustratingly inconsistent figure.
This season has begun extremely well though. Pogba produced four beautiful assists against Leeds United and assisted Mason Greenwood's equalizer against Southampton as well. Manchester United look much better when the 28-year old starts, and the club should do all they can to get him to sign a new deal.

#3 Neymar (Paris Saint-Germain)
The one player who can give Lionel Messi competition when it comes to natural ability is Neymar.
Neymar was destined for success from a very young age. Regarded as Brazil's brightest talent during his Santos days, the forward has not disappointed. The Brazil international is a talisman for both his national team and Paris Saint-Germain, bamboozling opponents with his world-class dribbling, pace and prolific goalscoring ability.
The 29-year old is a complete footballer and is one of the best players in world football. Neymar's vision and comfort on the ball have often been praised, and the world's most expensive footballer is a joy to watch.
#2 Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
Kevin De Bruyne is the best midfielder in the world, and it is very hard to find a player with his abilities.
De Bruyne is a highly creative midfielder renowned for his world-class passing and vision. The Belgium international has made a name for himself as one of the best passers in world football, while his low-drilled crosses into the box have proved to be an effective weapon as well.
The 30-year old has arguably been the best player in the Premier League since joining Manchester City in 2015. De Bruyne has won three Premier League titles with the club, and has twice been awarded the PFA Players' Player of the Year for his performances.
#1 Lionel Messi (Paris Saint-Germain)
It is yet to fully register for many that Lionel Messi is no longer a Barcelona player and will represent Paris Saint-Germain this season.
Barcelona announced controversially this month that the greatest player to have played for the club is no longer a part of Barcelona. Messi subsequently signed for Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer, where he will link up with good friend Neymar once again.
Messi is arguably the best player to have played the game. He is a world-class creator, dribbler and goalscorer, and boasts incredible vision and passing ability. The Argentina international is a gifted footballer, and Paris Saint-Germain have done well to sign him on a free transfer.
