Are there any bona fide world class players in a bottom 10 PL team right now?

"World Class" is a term overused in the UK. Ronaldo, Messi, Mbappe, Kev, David Silva, Erland, Iniesta, Xavi and perhaps Kane can be bracketed in there for me.

Depends on how you define world class. Some people only class the best player in that position in the world as 'World Class'. I don't think anyone in the bottom half of the PL meets that criteria.
If you are defining it as good enough to play regularly for a top CL team. Probably only Palhinha, Pedro Neto & Eze for me.

Talk Shite wound me up last week (I know, I know) when Goldstein and Bent were talking about "who sits at the top table with Messi and Ronaldo" in terms of goal scorers during their era.It’s almost as tedious and meaningful as which clubs are “big”
People generally first decide who they’d like to fit the description and then go about building an argument that supports it.
The pair of them reeled off name after name (from Aguero, Haaland, Lewendowski, Ibramovich, Rooney, Kane, Kloser and more all saying "yeah he's at the the top table".
I'm screaming mad eyed at the car radio "how many players are at the top table?"
There was no limit. The top table was endless.
NoFor example, Liverpool took Mane and Van Dijk from Southampton.
Anyone of their ilk?
Ivan Toney probably doesn't make the grade, Paqueta, Olise also good, but not there. I'd say no.
