In 122 appearances for River Plate, Alvarez found the back of the net 54 times and provided 31 assists. This season while playing for Manchester City, the 22-year-old has scored 3 goals in the English Premier League.

5. Jude Bellingham – The future of Jude Bellingham is the hottest question in football right now. With his big-game mindset and quality at such a young age, the Dortmund star has earned a high reputation. After making his England national team debut in 2020, he has been a regular starter for the country and has made an outstanding impression. With his sorcery in the heart of England’s midfield, the Englishman is set to be one of the World Cup’s most anticipated debutants.
