Highly talented and deadly in front of goal, Luis Suarez is one of the brightest attackers that will feature in the World Cup this year. The Uruguayan was one of the most impressive strikers in Europe during the previous campaign, bagging an incredible 31 goals for Barcelona in all competitions as well as claiming both La Liga title and the Copa Del Rey trophy.

Apart from his progress at club level, Suarez has also enjoyed some level of success on the international stage. He led his nation to win the Copa America in 2011, scoring 4 goals in the tournament as well as being named the best player of the competition. He also represented the nation in both the 2010 and 2014 World Cup tournaments, scoring 2 goals in the latter and is their all-time scorer with 49 goals in 95 appearances.

While Suarez will be receiving the honors for being one of the elite attackers heading into the World Cup this year, the Uruguayan will also be looking forward to overcoming his negative reputation in the competition after biting Italian defender, Giorgio Chiellini in the tournament back in 2014.
