5 Players that will Establish Themselves in La Liga this season

The 2017/2018 La Liga season was really a joy to watch, producing a lot of interesting clashes, memorable moments and intense battle as Barcelona cruised to their seventh Spanish title in 10 years.

The upcoming football campaign also promises to be another interesting one in the division, with the Spanish clubs gearing up for action as they look forward to meeting their respective objectives for the term.

As we all know, the La Liga is blessed with a lot of amazing talents who have been entertaining us for the past few years. Even though the division lost an important figure when Cristiano Ronaldo left for Juventus this summer, there are still a number of incredible players who can set the competition ablaze with their incredible talents.

Apart from the regular performers like Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann, Iago Aspas and Luis Suarez, it is evident that the Spanish top flight will witness the rise of other players when the campaign begins this month.

Therefore, let us quickly take a look at 5 incredible superstars that will establish themselves and get things rolling in the Spanish top division next season:

#5 Thomas Lemar (Atletico Madrid)

The winger will be looking forward to a decent start in the Spanish league

The La Liga will welcome an extraordinary talent when French superstar, Thomas Lemar appears officially to represent Atletico Madrid in the division next season. The attacker put an end to the speculations surrounding his future in the Ligue 1 by leaving Monaco in favor of a move to the Spanish capital.

Lemar is an explosive winger, capable of getting past opposition defenders using his sheer pace and amazing dribbling skills. He has been one of the brightest performers in the French League for the past few years, typically helping Monaco to claim the Ligue 1 title during the 2016/2017 campaign.

After winning the 2018 FIFA World Cup with France, the attacker will now link-up with some of his international teammates including Antoine Griezmann and Lucas Hernandez at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium next season. With his incredible talent, hard work and amazing skills, there is no doubt that Lemar will make name for himself in the La Liga during the campaign.

#4 Isco (Real Madrid)

The attacker will hit new grounds under Lopetegui next term

Significant changes have taken place at Real Madrid recently, with club legends, Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane both departing Santiago Bernabeu. While no one has been signed to take the Portuguese' place in the team, elite tactician, Julian Lopetegui has been introduced to replace Zidane as the manager of the club.

The 51- year old was assigned the task to bring the best out of the players during the Post-Ronaldo era, with his favorite superstar, Isco being tipped to become one of the star players of the club. The playmaker found it difficult to make meaningful impacts on the team during Zidane's tenure and would be glad to step forth after the Frenchman departed.

Having impressed under Lopetegui in the Spanish national team, there is no doubt that Isco will be unleashed in the La Liga next season. His perfect understanding of the manager, coupled with his incredible ability to dictate play and torment opposition defenders will enable him to reach his full potential in the Spanish top division during the campaign.

#3 Ousmane Dembele (Barcelona)

Injury crisis is now behind the youngster

After Neymar departed Barcelona to complete a world-record deal to Paris Saint Germain in the summer of 2017, the Catalans decided to sign Borussia Dortmund starlet, Ousmane Dembele as a replacement for the Brazilian winger.

However, the French youngster had a tough start to life in his first season in Catalonia, suffering two terrible injuries that limited his impacts at his new club. Even though he later showed promising signs after his recovery, there wasn't enough time for him to integrate himself fully into the squad as Barcelona claimed the both the La Liga title and the Copa Del Rey trophy.

Following a successful World Cup outing with France in Russia, Dembele is looking fit and ready to prove his worth at Barcelona next season. With his incredible dribbling skills, immense creativity, and unbelievable pace, the attacker will be a real nightmare to opposition defenders in the Spanish top flight during the campaign.

#2 Marco Asensio (Real Madrid)

The winger is set to impress on the big stage

There is no denying that Cristiano Ronaldo left a huge void behind when he left Real Madrid for Juventus this summer. While his departure has been a great loss to everyone at the club, it also comes as a big fortune to one superstar - Marco Asensio.

In a world where clubs are spending heavily to recruit young talents, Asensio has proved to be a massive blessing to Real Madrid after he was picked from the club's youth system and lured into the first team in 2016. A couple of extraordinary performances revealed that the player was ready for the big stage only to be limited by the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Now that the Portuguese has left for the Seria A, the youngster would earn his opportunity to impress at the club. He showed us glimpses of what he could do with his brilliant display against Juventus, where he bagged a remarkable brace in the International Champions Cup. With his incredible skills and goalscoring knack, the La Liga should be ready to witness the rise of an incredible superstar next season.

#1 Philippe Coutinho (Barcelona)

Philippe Coutinho will light up the La Liga next season

It cost Barcelona a whopping £142 million to secure the signing of Brazilian playmaker, Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool during the previous transfer window. And, with what we have seen so far, the Catalan giants can relax and be rest assured that they have invested their money wisely in the midfielder.

Coutinho adapted quickly at Barcelona, producing a couple of promising performances for his new club last term. Despite featuring during the latter stages of the campaign, the playmaker still managed to record 10 goals and 6 assists to his name as the Catalans claimed both the La Liga title and the Copa Del Rey trophy.

Even though we saw flashes of what the Brazilian is capable of doing last season, it is the upcoming campaign that will truly reveal the genius of the former Liverpool attacker. As a matter of fact, we should be ready to witness a ruthless Coutinho in the La Liga next term - because his electrifying dribbling skills, intelligent movement, and incredible shooting will make him a difficult opponent to defend against.
