#9 Aleksandr Golovin
Many casual football fans had host nation Russia pegged as not even making it out of Group A during the 2018 World Cup. Having got off to a flier with a 5-0 win over Saudi Arabia, Russia would go on to finish second in their group and progress to the knockout stages – and key to that was CSKA Moscow’s creative midfielder, Aleksandr Golovin.
Before the World Cup even began, Golovin had been linked with a who’s who of European football, and his impressive performances at the tournament will see him in even further demand.
At just 22 years of age, Golovin has the world at his feet – as reflected by the likes of Barcelona, Juventus, Manchester United, and Chelsea having all shown reported interest in the playmaker. With an electric, creative approach to his play, and with an impressive eye for goal, the World Cup could prove to be the perfect launching pad for a huge move for Aleksandr Golovin.
