FULL LIST: Top 10 world’s best attacking midfielders

Jude Bellingham, the Real Madrid midfielder, has been named the best attacking midfielder in world football by Planet Football, surpassing Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes and Argentina's Nico Paz. The ranking focuses on traditional No. 10 players, excluding deeper midfielders and defenders. Despite a season that did not meet the high standards set upon his arrival at Real Madrid, Bellingham retained the top spot due to his impact during the World Cup. His performance challenges were attributed to Real Madrid's changing midfield dynamics rather than a personal decline. Fernandes secured second place with consistent creativity, while Paz, a 21-year-old Argentine, made the top three after a standout season with Como.
