midfielder has playing good football.

Barcelona signing Neymar is on 4th place. The 21-year-old who helped
Brazil to lift the Confederation Cup trophy last summer has not been exceptional
in terms of goal scoring for Barcelona since his arrival from Brazilian side
Santos but has assisted 8 times and is currently on second place in top assists
chart.
