#2 Donny van de Beek
Donny van de Beek is another youngster who’s proving his mettle after graduating from the Ajax youth academy. The 22-year-old attacking midfielder is a key component of Ten Hag’s Ajax side.
He is flexible enough to cover all three positions in the midfield but usually prefers to be in the final third, acting as an anchor and dictating the attack.
The young Dutchman has got 15 goals and 11 assists in 50 appearances this season. He likes to play quick, short passes and is adept at playing one- and two-touch football.
If he operates in a deeper role, he does a brilliant job in linking up the attack and defense. He’s very resilient on the field and is brilliant at holding the ball even in tight spaces.
A workhorse on the field, Van de Beek’s performances have attracted attention from the likes of PSG, Borussia Dortmund, Tottenham Hotspur, according to L’Equipe.
