#7 Hector Bellerin (Arsenal)

Some could argue that Hector Bellerin is one of the best right backs in the World. The 23 year old has absolutley everything in his locker. He has raw pace and he defends maturely. This raw pace has allowed him to get back in time to make vital challenges in games that other right backs just would not be able to do.

However it is fair to say that he has more in his locker than he is showing. An injury in 2017 gave him a bit of a knockback and he has been heavily criticised in the past for his antics off the pitch. He is currently at Arsenal where he has started the 2018/19 season in a very promising manner.

#6 Ousmane Dembele

The 21 year old has taken the whole world by storm. He made a name for himself after joining Bourrisia Dortmund and has not looked back. He joined Barcelona in the summer of 2017, but struggled to make an impact in the 2017/18 season due to an injury. He managed to make the 2018 France World Cup squad however, and won the World Cup.

The 2018/19 season has so far been much kinder to the Frenchman. He has so far played 12 games this season for Barcelona in all competitions scoring 4 goals. The reason Dembele is such a good player is that he has raw pace and is so hard to mark.

Defenders know that if they get the slightest of touches against Dembele then he could earn Barcelona a penalty. This is one of his great skills which singles him out from the rest.
