Who are the best women's footballers in the world right now? With so much quality in Europe's top five leagues, Liga MX, Australia, and, of course, the ultra-competitive NWSL, it seems like it is an impossible task to narrow the list down to 10. And then, it seems even more futile to try and sort those exclusive 10, elite of the elite footballers into a ranking. However, we aim to do our best and help you learn more about the most dominant footballers on the planet. So here are the 10 best women's footballers in the world right now, updated before the 2023 World Cup in New Zealand and Australia. 10.

The reigning World Cup champions, the USWNT have won the world's most prestigious footballing competition four times, which is the most of any country. With the world's most competitive league from top to bottom and the collegiate circuit, the United States is able to produce world-class athletes and technicians at all positions. So once again, they will be among the favorites to win it all at the 2023 World Cup, and many expect the Stars and Stripes to repeat as champions. Even making the final squad of the USWNT is quite the challenge, given all the American talent in women's football. Tough decisions will have to be made, but before the squad is finalized, let's take a look at the 10 very best players we could see suiting up for the United States at the upcoming World Cup in Austr...

Lazio surprised many by finishing second in Serie A, outlasting rivals Roma, both Milan clubs, and the penalized Juventus to end as the best team in the league after clear champions Napoli. Although the Biancocelesti had a couple of rough patches, they deserved their status in second. They played lovely football, keeping possession and defending the best they ever have in recent seasons. Once they bought into Maurizio Sarri's style, they flourished, and had Ciro Immobile been healthy, perhaps Lazio would have been even better. With a strong summer, Lazio can make some noise in the Champions League and finish top four again in 2023/24, even considering how competitive Serie A is now. So here are five possible transfer targets for Lazio in the summer 2023 transfer window. Boca Ju...

The 2022/23 Ligue 1 season is officially in the books with PSG holding on as champions, though Lens made it close in the end. And if you ask people in the know, such as Reims' manager Will Still, they'll tell you that Lens was actually the best team in the league. Certainly, they were the most impressive, consistent, and pleasurable to watch. So it's no surprise then that Lens and another exciting Ligue 1 side, Rennes, were the only ones with multiple representatives in this 2022/23 Ligue 1 Team of the Season. Reims were also an exciting team to watch, but many of their stars - such as Yehvann Diouf, Folarin Balogun, and Junya Ito - just missed out. Let's address the big surprise here first. PSG not having anyone involved. Nuno Mendes, Lionel Messi, and Kylian Mbappé all had exceptio...

Atlético Madrid turned around their 2022/23 season after a rough start that led to some (unwisely) questioning the future of legendary manager Diego Simeone. In the end, led by clear LaLiga Player of the Season frontrunner Antoine Griezmann, Atléti played brilliant football on both ends of the pitch and nearly came in second over rivals Real Madrid. The goal for next season will be to push for the title and to go further in the Champions League. In order to do that, Atlético Madrid could look to sign one of these ten transfer targets in the summer 2023 window. Celta Vigo LB Javi Galán: One of the most underrated players in LaLiga, Javi Galán was the star of the Huesca team from the 2020/21 season, and he has been even better for Celta Vigo. Galán is one of the best all-action wide...

Everton had to fight for their lives in the 2022/23 Premier League season, barely escaping relegation in what proved to be an unpredictable battle to the last Matchday. The Toffees are one of the league's most storied sides, so they are not used to watching their standards slip this badly over the last couple of seasons. Without star man Richarlison, whose first season with Tottenham did not exactly go swimmingly either, Everton were very much lacking in the necessary quality in the attacking third. But despite strong seasons from players like Amadou Onana in the midfield, it is clear that the Toffees have serious issues in their squad just about everywhere. So here are five possible transfer targets for Everton in the summer 2023 window, as they look to climb back up the Premier Lea...
