Mertens is frequently deployed in the left wing for Belgium. He has an eye for goal, has got good pace and is good at linking-up with his fellow teammates.

Being a dead-ball specialist for Belgium, he also has got the ability to deliver the perfect ball into the box for the attackers to score from. His raw pace enables him to rip apart the opposition's defence.

He has had a successful season with Napoli, scoring his 50th goal for them this season. Having represented Belgium in 67 matches and scored 13 goals for them, the Napolitano will be a key player for them in the 2018 FIFA World Cup. His pace and form will be crucial for Belgium's success in Russia.
