Liverpool’s magician Philippe Coutinho has mesmerised the Premier League with his stunning performances in the last few seasons.

When clubs like Barcelona and PSG are ready to break the bank for a player, you know that he is pretty special. But the 25-year-old is staying with the reds after recently signing a long-term contract.

Two-time PFA young player of the season and part of the PFA team of the year, Dele Alli has had a stunning season. Considered to be one of the best midfielders in world football at the moment, many pundits think Alli has overtaken Pogba.

Speaking to beIN Sports, Pochettino said:“I think Dele Alli has a personality completely different maybe to Neymar. I think he’s a special player too. I don’t know if he’s in this level yet but the potential will be like him or better.”

Bought by Juventus as a replacement for Paul Pogba, 27-year-old Miralem Pjanic has quickly settled into his role as the chief play-maker in this very impressive Juventus side. Having settled in well at Turin, Pjanic is proving to be an upgrade on Pogba.

With 8 assists, 8 goals and an incredible pass accuracy of 89%, Pjanic is definitely one of the best playmakers in world football today.

4. N’golo Kante –Chelsea

Crowned the PFA Player of the Year recently, N’golo Kante has been undoubtedly the best and most effective midfielder in the Premier League this season; the Frenchman has been a true revelation and he is finally getting the credit he deserves.

3. Marco Verratti –PSG
Capable of breaking up play and setting up attacks with equal ease, Verratti has recently been linked with a big money to either Real Madrid or Barcelona. Verratti is known for his brilliant ball retention skills and his ability to pick out the right pass under pressure.

Often compared to Andrea Pirlo, the 24-year-old is undoubtedly one of the best midfielders in world football at the moment.

2. Thiago Alcantara –Bayern Munich

The Spaniard has been dictating play for Bayern Munich and he has often been the link between attack and defence for the Bundesliga champions; having contributed to the offensive side of the pitch with 6 goals and 5 assists so far.

An amalgamation of Xavi and Iniesta, Barcelona will be regretting the fact that they allowed the talented midfielder to join Bayern Munich in 2013.

Toni Kroos has arguably taken his game to new heights ever since he made the switch to Madrid from Bayern Munich; calm, composed and always assured on the ball. The German has an incredible 12 assists and a scarcely believable passing accuracy of 92%.

Easily the best midfielder in La Liga (and the world) today, Real Madrid will be hoping that the German pass master continues to perform at this very high level in the 2017/18 season.
