5 frontrunners for Atletico Madrid's Player of the Year award

<p>

#3 Saul Niguez

Ente

After an impressive 2016/17 campaign, Saul Niguez has continued to perform at a high level in Atletico's midfield this season.

He is just 23 but now appears almost a senior figure alongside the less experienced Thomas Partey.

The key for Simeone is that Saul offers both defensive and offensive contributions from his central role in midfield. He has emerged as a key player for Atletico and deserves plaudits for his performances this season.
