3. Mehdi Benatia
Mehdi Benatia
Benatia is rated among the top bracket of central defenders currently plying their trade in Europe.
The Roma defender has been a leader at the back this term, was an important figure during their early-season success and remains one of their best players now.
Benatia has scored five goals in Serie A this season, not only helping out defence.
Benatia Pass Success – Serie A 2013/14He’s completed 89% of his passes and won a huge 61 headed duels in the league, proving how dominant he can be. At 26 years of age, he promises plenty more years at the top of the game, too.
He is valued at around £16 million so would cost a fair bit, but for a powerfully dominant central defender who can score goals, that’s a good price in today’s game.
If Moyes is looking for a high quality defender to replace Vidic and drop straight into the starting XI without any problems, Mehdi Benatia is his man.
