Eduardo Camavinga is one of the most exciting young midfielders in the game at the moment.

The teenager was snapped up by Real Madrid on the last day of the transfer window. Camavinga made a dream debut at the Santiago Bernabeu, scoring s minutes into his Real Madrid debut in a 5-2 home win against Celta Vigo.

It was only the third league goal of his senior career, having scored twice in Ligue 1 for Rennes. Described as a generational talent, Camavinga became one of the youngest scorers for France when he netted in a 7-1 win over Ukraine last year.


#2 Romelu Lukaku (Chelsea)

Romelu Lukaku is one of the hottest strikers in the game at the moment. He is coming off a prolific two-season stint with Inter Milan. Last campaign, Lukaku became the first player in over two decades to score 20 goals and provide ten assists as the Nerazzurri won their first Scudetto in 11 years.

Chelsea came calling for his services, snapping up the 28-year-old on a €115 million transfer. Lukaku hit the ground running at Stamford Bridge, scoring on his second debut for the club, in a 2-0 Premier League win over Arsenal.

Two games later, the Belgian scored a brace, his first goals at Stamford Bridge since leaving the club almost a decade ago. Lukaku's arrival has added a cutting edge to Chelsea's attack, something that was sorely lacking for the reigning Champions League winners last season.


#1 Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United)

Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably one of the best players to have graced the game. During an illustrious, nearly two-decade-long career, he has scored goals and won trophies galore.

After returning to Manchester United this summer, the 36-year-old did not take much time to get going. The 2020-21 Capocannoniere winner scored a brace in his first game for the club in 12 years as United comfortably beat Newcastle United 4-1.

A few days later, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner scored a record-extending 135th Champions League goal. But his exploits were not enough as United conceded an injury-time winner to lose at Young Boys in their 2021-22 Champions League opener.

Nevertheless, with Ronaldo's arrival, United will fancy their chances of winning their first Premier League title in almost a decade and go deep in Europe too.
