#3 Harry Kane - Tottenham Hotspur
Harry Kane is one of the most well-rounded strikers in the world. Not only can he score all kinds of goals and shoot with both feet, but he can also stitch passes together and create chances for his teammates.
Trending
Kane scored 23 goals and provided 14 assists from 35 appearances in the Premier League in the 2020-21 season. He won both the Premier League Golden Boot and the Playmaker's Award last term for topping both the goals and the assists chart.
Harry Kane has established a great relationship with his fellow forward Son Heung-Min. They share a telepathic connection on the pitch. Kane and Son are so effective together as both of them are technically sound campaigners who can pick a pass.
Kane's passing and playmaking abilities are so good that even when he is not scoring, there is a lot he can contribute to his team.
#2 Neymar Jr. - Paris Saint-Germain
It's hard to find players who have as much natural flair for the game as Neymar has. The Brazilian typifies the street-smart, quick-thinking version of football we've all come to love and enjoy. Neymar is a joy to watch and that's owing to his technical finesse on the ball.
Hidden in Neymar's arsenal are tricks, flicks and some wonderful passes. He showcases great vision but more importantly, he has the ability to pull off passes that could be inconceivable to many.
In recent times, Neymar has shown a desire to drop deep before carrying the ball forward and threading some incisive passes for the likes of Mbappe to chase down. His passing ability is reflected in the high number of assists he has registered throughout his career.
In his club career, Neymar has scored 262 goals and provided 163 assists in 437 appearances across all competitions.
#1 Lionel Messi - Paris Saint-Germain
Was this ever up for debate? Lionel Messi is the closest thing we have to a complete footballer. Not only is he one of the greatest dribblers the game has ever seen, he is also one of the most wonderful passers of the ball.
All that La Masia seasoning has done Messi a world of good. He sees movements and picks up runs that no one else does. He also has an incredible passing range which allows him to pull off some mind-blowing passes.
If Messi does lose a yard of pace over the next few years, he could easily slot into central midfield thanks to his passing ability and spatial awareness. In 778 appearances for Barcelona across all competitions, Messi has scored 672 goals and provided 305 assists.
