Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus set the Premier League alight when he finally joined Manchester City in January, and scored three goals before a broken metatarsal in his right foot halted his progress.
Elsewhere, Neymar believes Atletico Madrid hitman Antoine Griezmann could fill the shoes of Messi and Ronaldo, with the French forward poised to join Manchester United in the summer.
Juventus starlet Paulo Dybala completes the list – the Argentinian ace scored a brace against the Catalan club in Turin last week in the Champion League quarter-final first leg.

Neymar told Brazilian news outlet Esporte Interativo: “Of the new generation, I like (Antoine) Griezmann very much, but I have a great affection for Gabriel Jesus.
“I love him for how he plays and because we play together in the Selecao and we did at the Rio Olympic Games.
“He has entered the main Selecao very well, he is a boy with a lot of potential.
“I will also say Dybala, the famous Argentinian left-footer. If you leave him alone, he can hurt you. On Wednesday, we [Barcelona] will not be able to leave him any space.”
