Tottenham duo Harry Kane and Kieran Trippier have been included on the 55-man long list for this year’s Fifpro World XI.
They have been included alongside seven of France’s World Cup winning team, and the entire starting XI from Real Madrid’s third successive Champions League winning team.
Harry Kane finished runner up in the golden boot race for the Premier League, but scooped first prize at the World Cup in Russia, with six goals.
Kieran Trippier also impressed on the world stage, scoring a sublime free kick in the semi final against Croatia.
The list was compiled of the votes of 25,000 footballers from 65 countries.
Players were asked to pick one goalkeeper, four defenders, three midfielders and three attackers.
The final XI will be announced during the Best Fifa Football Awards in London on September 24.
