5 most underrated players in world football right now

#3 Juan Cuadrado

Juan Cuadrado is one of the pioneers of Juventus' revival mission.

Juventus defender Juan Cuadrado is also one of the most underrated players in the game right now. The Colombian is one of the pioneers leading the Bianconeri's revival charge this season, producing a string of spectacular performances.

Cuadrado's versatility has been of great help for the Serie A giants. Apart from his natural position on the right side of defence, the 33-year-old has also been deployed as a winger up front and a right-wing midfielder.

So far, the former Chelsea defender has made 13 appearances in Bianconeri colours this season, recording two goals. That includes his strike for Juventus against Fiorentina last weekend, inspiring the Old Lady to a 1-0 victory and securing all three points from the game.

#2 Domenico Berardi

Berardi remains a huge force to be reckoned with in Serie A this season.

Domenico Berardi continues to be the difference-maker for Sassuolo up front. However, it's as if no one notices his spectacular performances for the Serie A outfit.

The attacker has had a promising start to his current campaign, recording five goals and three assists in ten appearances across competitions. Last season, the 27-year-old racked up 17 goals and eight assists across competitions.

Berardi has stepped up in big games on multiple occasions this season. He scored against the likes of Inter Milan and Atalanta recently, and also bagged assists against Juventus and AS Roma.

Unfortunately, the attacker rarely gets the plaudits he deserves for his incredible exploits in front of goal. It remains to be seen if that changes anytime soon.

#1 Christopher Nkunku

Christopher Nkunku is arguably the best attacking midfielder in the game now.

Christopher Nkunku was the star of the show as RB Leipzig got the better of Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga last weekend. The attacking midfielder scored one and assisted another to inspire his team to a 2-1 win.

That was just another day in the office for the 23-year-old. The Frenchman has been unstoppable over the last few weeks, producing decisive performances across domestic and continental competitions.

Nkunku has recorded 11 goals and seven assists in 17 appearances for RB Leipzig across competitions this season. Considering the rate at which he's scoring and setting up goals, it remains to be seen if he continues that till the end of the season.
