5 Players who could be the next Messi

#1 Paulo Dybala

Juventus v Frosinone Calcio - Serie A

Argentine sensation, Paulo Dybala has been compared to his countryman time and again and is considered by many as his replacement. In fact, their playing styles are so similar that, Argentina has failed to accommodate them in a team together.

He has been hailed by many as one of the best forwards in the world and has the potential to dictate the proceedings of a game. The 25-year-old has scored 9 goals and assisted 6 goals in 31 games. Those stats aren't great for someone like Dybala, but he has shown signs of improvement. In his last 400 minutes of action in the Serie A, he has scored 4 goals and assisted twice, indicating a return to form.

The Juventus No.10 is similar to Messi in almost every aspect of the game, with the most notable ones being taking direct free-kicks and set-pieces, scoring long range beauties, crossing and key passes.
