There's probably not a single football fan who hasn't heard about Borussia Dortmund's teenage sensation, Jadon Sancho. The player had a night to remember in his recent outing with his club, in which he became the youngest player ever to reach 15 goals in Bundesliga, breaking a 52-year-old record.

Already two games into the German top-flight, the Englishman has two goals and two assists to his name, a stat perfectly apt to the jersey number he dons for the eight-time German champions.

Sancho is a natural winger who possesses flair, skills and blistering pace. He likes to take on defenders and has grown pretty good at it, as his 3.3 dribbles-per-game indicate.

We can definitely expect more to come from this exciting youngster going forward and eventual become the main man not only for Die Borussen but England as well.


#5 N'Golo Kante

Well, though not your typical No.7, but N'Golo Kante is so good at what he does that he deserves a spot on our list.

Despite being a defensive midfielder, he dons the famous jersey for the Blues, which has traditionally gone to a winger. He broke into the scene in the Premier League at his former club Leicester City, powering them to the league title in the 2015/16 season.

And since joining Chelsea, he has never looked back. His reputation and career has gone from strength to strength, winning another league title, a Europa League and also the FIFA World Cup with France.

Kante may not be your usual No. 7, with his pressing, hard-tackling and intense energy game, but there can be no arguing with the fact that he is one of the best No. 7s around at the .
