#3 Jonas
Add the term 'Brazillian' in a footballer's nationality and he is bound to grab eyeballs. Not always though, at least not in the case of Jonas Goncalves Oliveira, or simply Jonas.
A great all round player with incredible awareness in front of goal, Jonas made his debut with Guarani. His playing time in Brazil was far from a cakewalk, even getting labelled as 'the worst forward of the world' after a disappointing performance with Gremio. Despite the criticism, he kept making strides and finished the top-scorer in Serie A (Brazil) in 2010.
His success in Brazil opened doors for him in Europe, as he signed for Valencia in 2011. After a decent spell in Spain, Jonas was transferred to Portuguese giants Benfica in 2014 where he made a meteoric rise. With three consecutive league titles and two consecutive Primeira Liga Player of the Year awards, he has been on a roll.
Jonas has till date played only 12 international matches for Brazil, which some people believe is because of his lack of marketability. Nevertheless, even at the age of 33, Jonas still has a lot to offer to the footballing universe.
