#1 Dele Alli (Tottenham Hotspur, England)

Tottenham finished second only to Chelsea in the league. Even though Harry Kane stole the limelight, Dele Alli produced some stunning displays for Spurs and England. He played a key role in England's World Cup qualification as they finished on top of their qualifying group.
Alli scored 18 times and assisted 7 more in a stunning season for Tottenham. The 21-year-old is considered by many as one of the finest young midfielders in Europe. Playing in an advanced midfield role, Alli creates and scores a lot of goals. He has exceptional ball control, and can dribble with pace, making him an exciting talent to watch.
If Sadio Mane and Philippe Coutinho can make that list, Alli has all the right to say that he's unlucky to miss out.
