Kylian Mbappe may have stolen the thunder off Neymar as PSG's chief goalscorer, but the box-office Brazilian remains a highly influential figure in their squad.

He's so often the driving force, thanks to his exceptional creativity and uncanny leadership qualities. Neymar also consistently provides a goalscoring outlet with his intelligent positioning.

With 88 goals and 54 assists in 124 games for the Parisians, Neymar averages over one goal-contribution per game. There are few sights more exciting in football than Neymar's dribbles while getting past his marker.


#2 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) - £90 million

There's no one better in current form than Mohamed Salah, who's simply in a league of his own right now. He has scored 15 goals and five assists in the 2021-22 season already, having also scored in each of his last ten games across competitions.

Pacy, clinical and dynamic, the Egyptian star provides pressing and work rate, which makes an integral player in Jurgen Klopp's gegenpressing style of play. Salah is currently powering the side's title charge in the Premier League.

Among his more recent accomplishments include becoming the first-ever visiting player to score a hat-trick at Old Trafford. In the process, he once again demonstrated his ability to step up to the plate in big games.


#1 Jack Grealish (Manchester City) - £90 million

Jack Grealish has contributed five goals in 13 games for Manchester City so far.

From starring in an average Aston Villa squad to becoming the most expensive British player in history, Jack Grealish has come a long way in the last few years.

He's caught our collective imagination with his flair for creating chances and proficient skills on the ball. It's difficult to dispossess him when in possession, and he can turn the tide of games with an amazing through-ball.

Grealish, who starred in England's run to the Euro 2020 final, is still adjusting to life in the blue half of Manchester. But under Pep Guardiola, he'll fancy his chances of flourishing into a world-class prospect in the coming years, if he is not one already.
