Jacques Kora

This flamboyant Beninese whirlwind uses his explosive pace and mesmerising skill to dance past defenders with ease, though he can be infuriatingly selfish in the final third.

Standing at just 169 cm, his low centre of gravity makes him an impossible target for even the most clinical markers.
