#1 Hirving Lozano
One of the greatest things about the World Cup is that each and every edition of the tournament usually unearths a new global superstar or two. Back in 2014, that superstar was Colombia’s James Rodriguez, and many had tipped PSV Eindhoven’s Hirving Lozano to have a breakout tournament for Mexico this time around.
For Lozano, it’s so far, so good, with him making an explosive mark by netting the winner as the Mexicans destroyed Germany in their opening group game.
Unfortunately for Mexico, they had a major blip as they went down 3-0 to Sweden in their final group game, but Lozano has undoubtedly impressed in their games to date. The knockout stages await Mexico, and a major summer move could then be ahead for Lozano – with Barcelona just one of a slew of footballing superpowers showing an interest in the rapid, direct, and explosive Hirving Lozano.
