4) Zlatan Ibrahimovic (PSG)

One of the finest attacking players of his generation, PSG star Zlatan Ibrahimovic may be past his peak, but Ferdinand still rates him as up there with the very best.

3) Karim Benzema (Real Madrid)

A lethal finisher strongly linked with Arsenal for much of this summer, Karim Benzema is rated as the third best striker in the world by Ferdinand.

2) Luis Suarez (Barcelona)

Surprisingly only second, Barcelona star and former Liverpool man Luis Suarez is runner-up in Ferdinand’s list, though many will feel he should be first for his amazing form in the last few years.

1) Sergio Aguero (Manchester City)

Number one for Ferdinand is Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero, who had an excellent game in the 3-0 win over Chelsea on Sunday.
