#4 Luka Jovic
Whilst Jadon Sancho has hogged the limelight with his stellar performances for Borussia Dortmund in a breakout year, Eintracht Frankfurt’s Luka Jovic too had been firing at all cylinders.
The Serbian ended the campaign with 27 goals and seven assists in all competitions as he was the sole bright spot in an erratic Eagles squad. He also played an instrumental role in the side’s Europa League fortunes, bagging 10 of those 27 strikes in this competition to help attain a respectable semi-final finish.
Unlike other players on this list who are still only “likely” to join the Merengues, this one’s a done deal, with the announcement to be made official sometime later this week.
An alleged outlay of £52.4 million has been made to sign the striker, who will likely partner Karim Benzema to bolster the attacking vanguard.
