Impeccable metronome at the base of Chelsea's Champions League success and Italy's victorious run to the European Championship title.Jorginho deserves immense credit for becoming such a key figure at Stamford Bridge despite initially encountering intense criticism when he first arrived at Chelsea.

Jorginho

More excellence in the heart of the midfield for Manchester City, Gundogan was again influential as Pep Guardiola's side won the Premier League.He netted a career-high 13 league goals in the top flight last term.

Ilkay Gundogan

Beyond that hat-trick against Barcelona, Mbappe was sensational for Paris Saint-Germain - admittedly amidst a trying season for them - netting 27 goals in the French top flight.He would be much higher in this list had Euro 2020 not passed him by.

Kylian Mbappe

Ok, so things haven't gone to plan for Kane so far this season - after that failed move to Manchester City in the summer - but let's not forget what he achieved last term.Despite the turmoil and uncertainty that enveloped Tottenham Hotspur, he still managed 23 league goals, while his 14 assists - in a struggling team - is testament to a complete striker at the top of his game.

Harry Kane

More records fell for De Bruyne last term, as he reaffirmed his place as the Premier League's most creative player. He surely deserves consideration among the best playmakers in the league's history.He was also a Premier League winner, and won the divison's Player of the Season award.

Kevin De Bruyne

Just look at what Dias achieved last season - his first at Manchester City - making a mockery of those who suggested that he may struggle to adapt to life in the Premier League.The Portgual international won the FWA Footballer of the Year award, Manchester City's Player of the Year prize, the Premier League Player of the Season gong and the title of UEFA Champions League Defender of the SeasonA PL winner's medal was surely the highlight of a remarkable campaign!

Ruben Dias

Yet again, Kante was far and away the best defensive midfielder in the world game last term, striking up an excellent partnership with Jorginho and inspiring Chelsea to the Champions League final.It was just a shame that success at the Euros didn't prove forthcoming for the France international.

N'Golo Kante

Messi enjoyed an outstanding final season at Barcelona, netting 30 league goals, and signing off with a bang...even if the title proved elusive.He's perhaps yet to settle at Paris Saint-Germain, but his inspirational displays as Argentina clinched the Copa America (finally) are enough to secure him a spot on this list.

Lionel Messi

Salah may not have ended last season with silverware, like his Chelsea and Manchester City rivals, but his outstanding displays to drag Liverpool to the Champions League were also remarkable.Despite injury concerns, the Reds finished in the Top Four, with Salah's big match displays and 22 goals critical to their campaign.His form this season, as he's become Africa's all-time top scorer in Premier League history, should ensure he's considered among the world's finest.

Mohamed Salah

41 goals in 29 Bundesliga outings is an unbelievable return for Lewandowski, who is the favourite to win the Ballon d'Or.His goals have resulted in honours as well, and despite being 33, it's clear the striker is at the top of his game right now.

Robert Lewandowski
