Florian Wirtz is third. The Bayer Leverkusen maestro is widely regarded as one of the best young talents in Europe. He’s reportedly in excellent form.
Jude Bellingham is second. Once a box-to-box force, he’s evolved into a deep-lying playmaker. He has reportedly decided key matches through intelligent distribution.
