3) Toni Kroos (Real Madrid)
A World Cup winner with Germany, and treble winner with Bayern Munich just over a year ago, Toni Kroos certainly does not look too expensive at £20m, the fee Real Madrid paid for him this summer. The Spanish giants have something of a reputation for over-spending sometimes, but they have certainly landed themselves a bargain here with this superbly gifted midfield playmaker, who will surely enjoy the chance to win plenty more silverware after his move to the Bernabeu.
