The controversial Swede had an outstanding season with PSG, scoring 34 goals in all competitions and inspiring PSG to the Ligue 1 title. He is currently one of the higest-paid footballers in the world although if he keeps performing the way he did last season, no one can say that he doesn’t deserve every million he earns.

9) Fernando Torres

The Spanish striker has struggled for goals since his move to Chelsea, but he did manage to find the back of the net 23 times last season and became the first player to score in seven different competitions in the same season. The Spaniard will no doubt look to build on a sold goal-scoring season.
