Jadon Sancho has been incredible ever since he was signed by Borussia Dortmund.

Sancho was signed by Dortmund in 2017 and went on to spend four successful years with the German outfit. Although Sancho didn't win any major trophies, his game improved in leaps and bounds over the past four years.

Displaying remarkable consistency, Sancho has been a regular on the goalscoring and assists charts in the Bundesliga. In the 2019-20 season, Sancho recorded a personal best of 17 goals and 17 assists in the Bundesliga, a feat that was matched by only a handful of players in the world.

During his four years with the German outfit, Sancho has racked up an incredible 50 goals and 64 assists in just 137 appearances. His performances have earned him a big-money move to Manchester United, bringing him back to the Premier League.

The 21-year-old certainly has bags of talent and will be waiting to challenge Premier League teams in his new spell at Old Trafford.


#2. Neymar - Paris Saint-Germain, Brazil

Neymar is arguably amongst the top footballers in the world.

The Brazilian has already had a vastly successful career. Signed by Barcelona in 2013, Neymar went on to spend four incredible years at the Nou Camp. He won two La Liga titles as well as one UEFA Champions League.

In just four years with Barcelona, Neymar recorded 105 goals and 76 assists. His phenomenal performances sparked the interest of Paris Saint-Germain, who paid a world-record €222 million for the Brazilian. Although his time in Paris has certainly earned him a lot of praise, there is a lot of debate as to whether he has surpassed his Barcelona self in Paris.

It also has to be said that Neymar is not an orthodox right-winger. The system employed at PSG is quite dynamic - Neymar often switches wings with his team-mates Kylian Mbappe and Angel Di Maria. While he is capable of playing in either position, he seems to be at his best operating on the right.

With Neymar turning 30 next year, his main priority will be to lift the UEFA Champions League with PSG.


#1. Mohamed Salah - Liverpool, Egypt

Mohamed Salah has evolved into one of the world's best players since signing for Liverpool.

Not many expected Salah, who joined Liverpool from Roma in 2017, to reach the level he has. Blessed with immense pace and inch-perfect finishing ability, Salah has taken the Premier League by storm ever since he came to England.

Salah burst onto the scene immediately, bagging a record 32 goals in his very first season with Liverpool. Synonymous with consistency, Salah has gone on to achieve some ridiculous goalscoring numbers.

The 29-year-old has racked up 125 goals and 47 assists in just four years. Certainly a household name for Liverpool fans worldwide, Salah has grown to become one of the best Liverpool players in recent times.

He boasts an incredible trophy cabinet as well: Salah has already won the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League with the Reds. Individually, he has also won the Premier League Golden Boot twice and become one of their most important players.

With the Premier League kicking off in just two weeks, Salah will be hoping to hit top form as Liverpool look to challenge once again for the Premier League title.
