Number 10 is regarded as the spine of a team's play-making. He is the center for creative edge and is the man to watch out for. Over the years some remarkable players have worn the number 10.

# 5. Marcus Rashford- Manchester United

Rashford has been entrusted with Wayne Rooney's number #10 jersey.

Picking the Englishman over Mesut Ozil was a tough choice but evenly justified. How many teams would have the German midfielder in their side over this extraordinary youngster? Barely anyone.

The 20-year-old is the one to watch out for. He came through the youth system at Manchester United and booked his place in the first team in no time.

He has a knack for scoring goals on his debut. As of now, he has scored on his debuts in Europa League, Premier League, England national team, League Cup, UEFA Nations League.

The Manchester United forward appears to be a star in the making. He was rewarded for his performances with the number #10 jersey previously held by Wayne Rooney and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, at the start of 2018/19 season.

# 4. Sadio Mane- Liverpool FC

Liverpool has one of the deadliest strike forces in all of Europe. A major part of their threat in the final-third comes in the form of this strong, pacy and sharpshooting forward, Sadio Mane.

Mane's terrific pace saw him facing a lot of injury problems mainly in the calf and hamstring region. However, Jurgen Klopp took the task to himself and monitored his game time and eventually managed to improve his fitness.

As a result, Liverpool now has the player they thought they had signed from Southampton in 2016. The forward has been magnificent for the team and netted goals as per his will over the past one season.

Going into the 2018/19 season, he was handed over the number 10 jersey left unoccupied after Coutinho's departure.

He is living up to every ounce of the expectations at the moment.

# 3. Harry Kane- Tottenham Hotspurs

Kane was the top scorer at the World Cup 2018, Russia.

Kane is one of the best strikers in the game at the moment. The Englishman is a goal scoring beast and an absolute nightmare for the defenders. The fact that he has won two consecutive Premier League Golden Boots and another for being the top scorer at the Russia World Cup, 2018 speak the volumes of his abilities.

Only his injury in the latter part of 2017/18 season hindered his progress in the race for what could've been his third consecutive English Golden Boot.

Such an amazing player he is. The expectations are massive from the 25-year-old for this season too.

# 2. Eden Hazard- Chelsea

The Belgian is in fine form at the moment.

Eden Hazard has been absolutely crucial to Chelsea's success for some years now. He was given the number #10 ahead of the 2014/15 season under Jose Mourinho.

The player has always been tipped to challenge for the big individual rewards but hasn't really managed to.

The Belgian is an absolute delight to watch on the pitch. His ability to break the finest defenses apart on his own is something note-worthy. Over the last few years, there was a lot of criticism surrounding his ability to carry the team on his own.

However, his performances in the 2018 World Cup were instrumental to the progress of his nation to the semi-finals.

The 27-year-old has certainly hit his prime now. All he needs to do now is to turn the stats to his liking.

# 1. Sergio Aguero- Manchester City

Sergio Aguero for Manchester City.

The man who needs no introduction to the football world, Sergio Aguero. The goal-scoring machine, the marksman and a ruthless force in front of the goal.

The Argentine forward is arguably the best foreign player in the league at the moment. He is Manchester City's all-time record goal-scorer and a force to be reckoned with on the pitch.

Known for his exceptional movement and reading of the game, Aguero possesses the ability to drag defenders away from their positions.

Despite being 30, he is the man you don't want to be lurking for chances in front of you. He was handed the number #10 jersey in 2015.

He leads City's attack with substance and is in no mood to stop right now.
