[img]http://wallpapersoccer.tk/wp-content/uploads/eden-hazard-chelsea-picture-wallpapers-7.jpg[/img] Eden Hazard | A leading light in an outstanding Chelsea side, the young Belgian playmaker has been tipped as a future Ballon d’Or winner. If he can continue to inspire Jose Mourinho’s Blues to the Premier League title and catch the spotlight in the Champions League, he may yet become the first player from his country to lift the crown. |

https://e1.365dm.com/14/09/768x432/Lionel-Messi_3210301.jpg?20140930132554 Lionel Messi | Considered out of sorts for significant periods of 2014, the Argentine has the opportunity to lead his country to Copa America success in the summer but he must inspire more from Barcelona if he is to dethrone Ronaldo. |

https://www.africatopsports.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/neuer.jpg Manuel Neuer | Bayern Munich continue to dominate in Germany, but without a world or European stage to shine on internationally, it will be difficult for the goalkeeper to become the first player in his position to win the crown since Lev Yashin in 1963. |

He is a key player with Barcelona, but it’s with the national team he really stands out. |

https://static.goal.com/362900/362967_heroa.jpg Paul Pogba | One of the brightest up-and-coming talents in the world game is a real dark horse for the prize in 2015. He boasts an ever-growing influence in Juventus’ midfield and his all-round game is already formidable. An exceptional knockout stage in the Champions League is needed to give the France international a shot. |

https://www.futfanatico.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Black-gloves.jpg?w=60&h=60 Arjen Robben | Considered by many to have been unfairly overlooked for a place in the top three in 2014, if he can continue to be a catalyst for Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich, he stands a chance of taking the title this time around. A decisive role in a Champions League-winning side will be required, though. |

[img]http://usatftw.files./2014/07/rsi-soccer-spain_real-rodriguez.jpg?w=1000&h=668[/img] James Rodriguez | Moving to Real Madrid has arguably reduced the Colombian’s chances of taking the title next season, as he has been pushed into the shadows a little by Ronaldo. Nevertheless, the Copa America affords the former Monaco man his day in the sun, and if he is to stand a chance he must take it. |

https://static.goal.com/399400/399461_heroa.jpg Cristiano Ronaldo | The Portuguese will be chasing his third successive Ballon d’Or in 2015 and fourth overall. Success in La Liga or the Champions League is key if he is to regain his crown, although his exceptional personal exploits will likely see him in the running regardless. |

If he were to shine in the summer’s Copa America and lead the Gunners to unlikely success in the Champions League, he would be in with a shout. |

https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/67/590x/479240635-465723.jpg Yaya Toure | After winning four African Player of the Year titles, the Ivory Coast star must be aiming to go one better. He had a difficult start to the season but his form picked up towards the end of 2014, and with the Africa Cup of Nations this year, this might be the 31-year-old’s last chance at the crown. |
