Gavi, Musiala and Bellingham, the biggest talents in the world right now?
The World Cup is underway, and we have already seen samples of these three's huge talents. But are they currently the biggest talents in the world?
We've taken a look at their stats and influence on their club and national teams this season.
Gavi (FC Barcelona and Spain):
Gavi has been named the world's greatest talent when he won the Golden boy award, which was awarded earlier this year. When you look at his stats for Barcelona this season, it doesn't look like a player who has been named the World's Greatest Talent, but it is clear to see on the pitch that he is extraordinary. His drive with the ball and his passing play are reminiscent of former Barcelona legend Iniesta.

Games: 19
Goals: 0
Assists: 1
The stats that you have to look at a little more are his play on the pitch and not the main stats like goals and assists.

Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich and Germany)
Many believe that Musiala is the greatest talent at the moment, and his season for Bayern Munich this year has been fantastic. He is already acting as a leader for Bayern Munich and Germany even though he is only 19 years old. It is clear that his teammates look for him if they want something unexpected to happen or to speed up the game.
His technical skills and dangerousness are worthy of a top player already.
