Paul Pogba (Manchester United) – Central Midfielder: £106 million

The world’s most expensive player, Paul Pogba, is widely tipped to be a future Ballon d’Or winner by many of his peers and it is easy to see why there is so much hype about the talented 23-year-old midfielder.

Pogba has been described by his club Manchester United as a "powerful, skilful, and creative" player who has "an eye for goal and a penchant for the spectacular." Equally comfortable in both a defensive and attacking midfield role, Pogba has also been praised for his ability, leadership and work rate.

Although he initially struggled to live upto his huge transfer fee at Manchester United, in recent matches, the mercurial Frenchman has rediscovered his best form and is already one of the best players in the Premier League.

With time, Pogba might end up becoming one of the best players in the world.
