5 Players who could be the next Messi

#3 Marco Asensio

Sevilla FC v Real Madrid CF - La Liga

Another Real Madrid player in the form of Marco Asensio makes it to the list. The Spanish International is one of the most talented youngsters in world football and is highly rated for his skills. A creative player, who has the ability to shoot from long range with a gifted left foot will obviously be compared to Messi. Infact, Zidane has said that Asensio's left foot is as good Lionel Messi's.

He is just 23-years old and has already created waves in the football fraternity. He has shown glimpses of his talent with Los Blancos, but has never delivered the kind of performances that are expected from him. The former Espanyol player has netted and assisted 5 times each in 31 games this season. These stats aren't good enough for a player of his quality, but with time he will mature and start delivering the attacking returns on a more regular basis.
