Marcos Llorente
Plays for: Spain
A glance through the Spanish star’s Instagram clicks is enough to put him on this list. Llorente is the classic combination of boy-next-door charm and a body that is enough to rival the best supermodels in the business. Armed with a smile that reaches his eyes and a cute front mop, the 26-year-old is a looker, often making it to the ‘daily drool’ list of many a website. When he isn’t sweating it out on the field (and making us break into a sweat in the bargain), Llorente is often spotted shirtless, with his three adorable pugs and sexy girlfriend Paddy for company.
Jack Grealish
Plays for: England
Jack Grealish is often likened to David Beckham, and it’s not tough to fathom why. The 25-year-old not only has an uncannily similarity in his looks with his childhood hero, but also wears his hair on the field like Beckham did in the early years of his career. In fact, the ‘Jack Grealish haircut’ is now a thing, with salons across England (and beyond) getting requests for the cut. It’s an undercut, which, together with his slicked-back hair, adds to his popular look. The man also enjoys fashion, which he revealed in a recent interview to GQ: “I put a lot of effort into the way I dress. I like quite a bit of designer stuff and overall I think I have it good.”
Fabian Schär
Plays for: Switzerland
Chiselled jaw, an on-off stubble and possibly the best hair in the soccer business. The handsome Swiss centre back is very, very easy on the eyes, both on and off the field. Though we are slightly partial to his stubbled look, this man can pull off almost anything. And that includes a man bun.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Plays for: Portugal
Is a sports lookers list in any part of the world even credible if it doesn’t include the devilishly handsome Cristiano Ronaldo? What more can be said about this man’s incredible good looks that hasn’t been said already? For years, we have feasted our eyes on the man — on and off the field — and at 36, Ronaldo only seems to be getting better with age. Shirtless or sharp suited, Ronaldo is a dream. And only someone who looks like him can say something like, “I look good because I am”. Eye roll: No. Drool: Of course!
Marcus Rashford
Plays for: England
That uninhibited and infectious laugh gets us every time. The 23-year-old forward from England has some of the finest abs in the field, but it’s his boyish looks that make him so appealing. A fine head of hair and some droolworthy tattoos are enough to make us flip over the man. Not to mention that he’s got his heart in the right place. A nine-year-old boy, who is involved in charity work, was recently gifted a PlayStation 5 and a letter from Rashford that simply said, “We are kind because it is the right thing to do”. And the man can also cook. What a dish!
Asmir Begovic
Plays for: Bosnia
Asmir Begovic is the only goalkeeper on this list — and with good reason. Towering above his teammates at 6’6”, the 34-year-old is as handsome as it gets, his sharp jawline and perfect pecs and abs often seeing him being ranked as one of the best-looking goalies on the field. That he’s a devoted family man — Begovic dotes on his two beautiful daughters — somehow makes him sexier.
Mason Mount
Plays for: England
Waiting for a man to take home to mom? Look no further than Mason Mount! Classic good looks make the 22-year-old player incredibly photogenic and he does know how to use that winning smile to great effect. Boasting female fans from six to 60, we recall that viral video last year when an elderly Chelsea fan — Mount plays for the club — tried to set up the ‘handsome charmer’ on a date with her granddaughter! That episode illustrated that this is a man who looks even better when he blushes.
