A compilation of the tallest world XI in modern football at the moment

Attackers

Fernando Llorente (6 ft 4) - #10

Llorente is good in the air

The Spanish international is at an advanced stage in his career, he has that element of creativity, can support the main striker, and can no longer do much of the hustle.

He is a power target in the box, and good at heading balls into the net. He is also a proven scorer with over 180 career goals to his name.

Peter Crouch (6 ft 7) - Second striker

Crouch's height will always make him a danger in the box

Despite his age, Crouch is still a huge threat in the box. He is one of the tallest players in the world, and he has made a habit of out jumping all of his markers to either score directly, or feed a teammate.

He is a consistent starter for Stoke City, and could be a real danger in the box when the long ball strategy is used. He has scored over 200 goals in his career, and one would fancy him to finish off the chances that come his way.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic (6 ft 5) - CF

At 37, Zlatan is still a goal machine

Zlatan still surpasses expectations with his overall play and goals, and one would think he is ten years younger. Ibrahimovic is still a clinical goal scorer, as in the MLS, he has netted 22 goals in 27 appearances at the time of writing.

Over the last century, Ibrahimovic has been the complete package. He is tall, strong, and has a lethal shot. It comes as little surprise that the Swede has over 450 career goals to his name.
