A highlight of some of the most valuable players 

 

  • Kylian Mbappé

A master class and courted by some of the biggest football clubs across the big leagues in Europe, Mbappé has been consistent over the years.

 

Mbappé is known for his many abilities, including dribbling, speed, an eye for goal and accuracy. The Frenchman is one of the most valuable players on the planet.

 

Although Mbappé needs more time to improve, the steps away from becoming the number forward in the world are just inches away.

 

Began with AS Monaco in the Ligue 1, and Mbappé sealed a move to giants Paris Saint-Germain and has since remained on the wishlist of various European clubs like Real Madrid, who’s been rumoured to be interested.

 

  • Erling Haaland

From the Red Bull Salzburg talent factory in Austria, Haaland has become a sensation not just in Borussia Dortmund but hailed for his goals and contributions. He’s known for his ability to make runs and accuracy when scoring goals.

 

Although there’s still room for improvement related to Haaland’s future, the future is bright.

 

Today, Haaland is one of few youngsters within the top five European leagues to hit double figures every season. 

 

  • Vinicius Junior

Although not the heir apparent to Ronaldo, Vinicius Junior is known for his incredible skills and style of play. The young Brazilian is one of the futures of world football.

 

Junior’s talents are natural, and he needs time, consistency and effort on his part to become a success. 

 

Real Madrid took the bold step to secure the services of Junior, who became more than a sensation in the Brazilian Football Championship with Flamengo between 2007 and 2008.

 

  • Mohamed Salah

From being a Chelsea reject to a superstar at Italian Serie A side AS Roma, Mohamed Salah drove the heart of Premier League giants Liverpool, who had the most straightforward buttons to hit to recall the former blue to his old fortress.

 

Switching to Liverpool, Salah has won trophies including the Premier League, FIFA Club World Cup, Champions League, EPL Golden Boot and Premier League Players of the Month Awards as the leading player in the team.

 

Salah is regarded as one of the best players in world football and could be compared with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Sergio Kun Agüero.

 

  • Bruno Fernandes

Bruno Fernandes wrote his name on the Premier League archives. The Portuguese who joined Manchester United from Sporting CP became an instant hit in the Premier League.

 

Fernandes made a name, becoming one of the fastest players to adapt to the Premier League and winning the league’s Player of the Month Awards consecutively. Fernandes was more than the backbone of Manchester United in his first season.

 

At the moment, Bruno Fernandes is regarded as one of the best midfielders in world football and declared untouchable at Old Trafford.
