1. Isco – Real Madrid
The 21-year-old is still one of the brightest young talents in Europe at the moment, and is wanted by Arsenal, PSG and Manchester City despite not gaining a regular foothold in the Real Madrid squad. With a knack for poaching goals from midfield as well as being a talented playmaker, he would be the ideal long-term replacement for Lampard, and could make the position his own for the next ten years should the Blues manage to convince the Spanish giants to let him go.
