10 best midfielders — Who is ranked number 1?

#1 Toni Kroos (Real Madrid)

Real Madrid v Galatasaray: Santiago Bernabeu Trophy — Toni Kroos is arguably the best midfielder in world football at the moment

Probably Real Madrid’ s most consistent player this year, Toni Kroos has arguably taken his game to new heights ever since he made the switch to Madrid from Bayern Munich. Calm, composed and always assured on the ball, Kroos is the conductor in the midfield who pulls the strings for the Spanish giants.

Hardly putting a foot wrong in 2017, the German midfield maestro passed the ball with precision and confidence and was always there to keep possession and get attacks started for the Madrid team.

Still only 27, Kroos is reaching his peak age as a footballer and Madrid will be hoping to build their midfield around the talented German for many years to come.

Kroos for his game-changing and consistent performances throughout the year is the best midfielder for 2017!
