5 most underrated footballers in the world right now

#2 Douglas Costa - Juventus

Costa is an extremely underrated player.

Costa's pace is what really makes him an important player. He is often regarded as one of the fastest if not the fastest players in the world right now and can play on either side of the wing. The Brazilian's crossing ability is a strength that he carries as a winger and can surely be one of the future prospects for the Brazil International team.

His work-rate, slender build and the ability to strike from anywhere could make him a well-known player, as he isn't known by many. In 2010, Costa was included in Don Balon's list of the 100 best young players in the world, but it seems like the Brazilian hasn't lived up to his expectations. With only a handful of goals scored this season and the last, he still has to prove a point for himself and for the fans. With the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, the Brazilian can surely amp his game up.
