#3 Trent Alexander-Arnold | Liverpool, England
Trent Alexander-Arnold already has quite the trophy cabinet at the age of 21 and is living out his dream of representing his boyhood club. The young Scouser is unlike any right-back in world football, having established himself as the creative genius of this star-studded Liverpool team.
Blessed with an incredible passing range and the ability to pick out pin-point crosses from wide areas, Alexander-Arnold has drawn comparisons with former England captain David Beckham. While the 21-year-old has a long way to go to emulate someone as decorated as Beckham, its not hard to see why he is held in such high regard.
Under the tutelage of Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool's #66 has become one of the biggest matchwinners in the world and has already won the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League in his short career so far.
Alexander-Arnold could become the first defender since Fabio Cannavaro in 2006 to get his hands on the Ballon d'Or if he carries on performing like this for club and country.
#2 Neymar | Paris Saint-Germain, Brazil
Brazilian sensation Neymar needs no introduction, as the mercurial attacker has performed on the grandest stage for the best part of a decade. Hailed as one of the most naturally gifted players of his generation, Neymar has produced several iconic moments for club and country over the years.
Having plied his trade with Santos and Barcelona, the Brazilian sealed a move to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 and has continued to perform exceptionally well. Neymar is incredibly gifted on the ball and is capable of running the show as a playmaker, while he has also shown that he can take matters into his own hands and produce matchwinning displays in front of goal.
The former Barcelona star was hailed as the heir to Lionel Messi's throne when he burst onto the scene and is the most influential attacker in world football on his day.
Neymar should get his hands on the Ballon d'Or in the coming years and is amongst the most envied footballers in the world.
#1 Kylian Mbappe | Paris Saint-Germain, France
Kylian Mbappe is dubbed as the most gifted player of his generation and is already one of the best players in the world despite being just 21 years old. The Frenchman has drawn comparisons with the likes of Thierry Henry, Ronaldo Nazario and Pele for his style of play and impact on the pitch at such a young age.
Known for his off the ball movement, explosive pace and powerful running, Mbappe is an outstanding dribbler and also has all the physical attributes to succeed in the modern game.
Having burst onto the scene at Monaco as a wide player, there is an air of inevitability around Mbappe being converted into a #9, much like what was the case with Thierry Henry at Arsenal.
The Frenchman has already won the World Cup and several league titles in France and is set to dominate world football in the coming years.
