#2 Hirving Lozano (Mexico)
Lozano set the World Cup alight with a superb performance for Mexico in their opening game against Germany, scoring the winning goal. His talents are perfectly suited to the Mexican style of play, soaking up the pressure before hitting teams on the break.
His pace and directness on the ball has been crucial to the way they have played, and he has been a big part of the success they have had in Russia.
The PSV winger wasn’t a man particularly well known across the continent, but he has turned heads with his performances in Russia. There have been rumours of interest from Barcelona, but we will have to wait and see what becomes of that when Mexico’s tournament is over.
