Who is the midfielder in the world

The Dutchman grew into his new role in his second season at Barcelona and cemented his position as one of the best central midfielders on the planet.

With Manchester City , Liverpool and Barcelona among the teams hovering, Leon Goretzka disappointed them all by reportedly signing a new deal to remain at Bayern Munich until In a mirror image of his United teammate Pogba, Bruno Fernandes is electric when playing for the Red Devils but an enigma when on Portugal duty.

Will that happen now he has joined United, too? He currently plays for the Bundesliga club Bayern Munich and the Brazilian national team. Shortly after, he joined Barcelona before joining Bayern Munich on loan in Coutinho won the Samba Gold Award as the best footballer in Brazil in Besides, he also plays for the German national football team.

He started his senior footballing career with Bayern Munich in And then, he played a single season for Bayer Leverkusen on loan from Bayern. And finally, in , he took his transfer to Real Madrid. He recently won the GQ athlete of the year in German in And in , he won the Footballer of the Year in Germany. Needless to say, Raheem Sterling is one of the best football midfielders of recent times. He currently plays for the Premier League side Manchester City.

Besides, he also plays for the England national football team. He started his football career at the Liverpool youth academy.

And shortly after, he has earned his promotion to the first team. And in , he joined Liverpool and became an integral part of the team. And in , he won the Golden Boy award for his brilliance in football. One of the best football midfielders of all time, Paul Pogba currently plays for one of the Premier League winners , Manchester United. Besides, he also plays for the France national team.

A product of Manchester United youth academy, he started his senior football career with Manchester United first team in He then spent four years in Juventus before again joining the Red Devils in Gundogan stepped forward as Manchester City's unlikely goal-scoring hero in the absence of the injured and now departed Sergio Aguero and the out-of-favor Gabriel Jesus last season.

The German midfielder has hit 17 goals in all competitions for Pep Guardiola's side, making him the club's top scorer. Ten of those came in just 11 Premier League games between December and February, all of which City won to effectively secure the title.

Last season in the Bundesliga was yet another in which Muller led the way in almost every attacking statistic. For the third time in four years, the German finished the campaign top in terms of assists, key passes, and chances created as Bayern won a ninth consecutive title. Muller also scored 11 goals in the Bundesliga, making him the division's second-highest scoring midfielder, behind only Borussia Monchengladbach captain and penalty aficionado Lars Stindl. When Barcelona signed de Jong from Ajax in , many assumed he'd be the natural successor to Sergio Busquets, sitting as the pivot in the Blaugrana midfield.

At first, that was the case. But since the appointment of Ronald Koeman last August, the Dutch midfielder has shifted out to a number eight role — and it has paid off. He's still able to showcase his pinpoint range of passing, but he now also has a license to burst forward with energy and aggression, causing havoc for opposition defenders. One of the best things about Bruno Fernandes at Manchester United aside from his countless goals and assists , is the the fact he has brought the best out of Pogba.

Alongside Fernandes in United's midfield, Pogba has found a player on his creative wavelength who gives him the freedom to express himself. England never stood a chance.

That both Marco Verratti and another Italian midfielder on this list entered the Euro final in the top 10 players for passes completed meant that it was always going to be a struggle to wrestle the ball away from the boys in blue. Showing his trademark range, Verratti also finished the tournament with 30 tackles, twice as many as any other player.

He is, quite simply, the complete midfielder, and a key reason behind Italy's success at Wembley. It's mad to think the year-old moved to Paris Saint-Germain a decade ago. The Italian has been a complete force of nature for club and country over that spell, becoming the beating heart of every side he plays in.

Paul Pogba was always highly rated for France. At Euro , he showed yet again why he is lauded in his home country as one of the truly great box-to-box midfielders of his generation.

A showreel of jaw-dropping passes against the likes of Germany, Portugal and Switzerland were among the highlights of the tournament. Now, for Manchester United , he is beginning to recreate that magic. He's shown it in glimpses since signing for the club in , but now he is producing on a regular basis. His four assists against Leeds on the opening day of this Premier League season sent social media into meltdown. If Pogba can maintain this sort of swagger, United are in with an excellent chance of ending their barren run in the top flight.

What a year it's been for the Italian. He won the Champions League and Euros with Chelsea and the Azzurri respectively, playing a crucial role in the successes of club and country from the base of midfield. At Euro , Jorginho ranked second overall for both passes completed, with , and ball recoveries, with He was utterly central to the success Roberto Mancini's side enjoyed en route to Wembley.

So much so, that'll he can be forgiven for almost costing his team the tournament when Jordan Pickford saved his penalty in the final shootout which would have sealed victory.
