6. James Rodriguez – Colombia
The 2014 World Cup Golden Boot winner – the Real Madrid forward took centre stage in Brazil and his performances saw him seal a £63m move to the Santiago Bernabeu after the competition. Having now etched his name on the illustrious list of Los Blancos galacticos, expectations are even higher on the international stage. Colombia are certainly in with a chance of winning this summer’s Copa America, and the 23-year-old could be key to their success.
