There were rumours before the tournament that some of Europe’s biggest clubs were lining up bids for Golovin, and his performances this summer won’t have done anything to put them off.
He has stepped up after Alan Dzagoev’s injury in the first game against Saudi Arabia, and has been Russia’s best player ever since.
He is an exceptionally gifted player in the centre of the park, and has showed off his talents at the World Cup.
He scored a superb free kick against Saudi Arabia, and ran the show when they took on Egypt. Reports suggest that Chelsea are now leading the chase for Golovin, and it is the sort of move he deserves if his World Cup performances are anything to go by.
