#4 Paulo Dybala - 2015

Arguably the closest in style to Lionel Messi, Paulo Dybala was a world class player even before his move from Palermo to Juventus. However, once he donned the black and white of Turin, his feet metaphorically lit up the stadium in a way that quantifiably translates to having scored 52 goals in 98 games with the Turin giants.
Dybala has been instrumental in keeping Juve’s domestic title winning streak alive –now at 7 in a row. Dybala’s attacking prowess almost saw Juventus bring home the Champions League in 2017, but was denied by Ronaldo's heroics.
Expect to see Ronaldo and Dybala teaming up in a feverish tandem that makes defences in Italy and the whole of Europe weak in the knees. It should be noted that this was also the year Kante was sold from Caen to Leicester. Despite defying the odds and winning the EPL title with Leicester, in the spirit of sharing the most impactful transfer of the year was awarded to Dybala.
