#1 Frenkie de Jong (Ajax)
Pep Guardiola's first wish for this position should be Frenkie de Jong, another exceptional talent from the Ajax academy. The 21-year-old Dutchman is much more than a defensive midfielder. He is a generational talent who has a very bright future ahead of him.
He is so calm on the ball, barely makes mistakes, and perfectly fits into Pep Guardiola's type of midfield. His passing skills are gorgeous, and he also has the ability to break opposition defences with his movement and dribbling.
Many top European teams are interested in signing him, and it will be a huge battle for his signature. Under the guidance of Pep Guardiola, Frenkie de Jong could become one of the most enjoyable players to watch. Most importantly, he could be Manchester City's defensive midfielder for the next decade, and that's why Guardiola should splash the cash on this kid.
