9) Thomas Mueller (Bayern Munich)
A superbly prolific goalscorer, Bayern Munich and Germany star Thomas Mueller confirmed his status as a world class star with his performances at the World Cup this summer. The 24-year-old scored five goals in Brazil, and although he may not be a great entertainer in the same bracket as the likes of Gareth Bale and Arjen Robben, the absence of left footers from this list makes him one of the top ten best in the world.
