5 of the most underrated footballers in the world currently

#1 Saul Niguez (Atletico Madrid)

Saul should be regarded as one of the best midfielders

The young and talented Spaniard is the most underrated player in the world at the moment. Saul currently plays under Diego Simeone and is an important cog in the Atletico wheel.

Blessed with the ability to come up with the spectacular, he has often slipped under the radar for his country as well as his club. Despite his technical prowess, Saul is willing to put in the hard yards and carries out his fair share of defensive duties. At present, he is one of the most complete Spanish midfielders.

Despite his obvious talent, Saul only boasts of 12 caps for Spain. However, under the new regime with Luis Enrique at the helm, things could be about to take a turn for the better. He portrayed his enormous ability with two goals in Spain’s UEFA Nations League matches.

For a midfielder like Saul, he should be mentioned in the same breath as the best in the business. Though he is revered by his club, his recognition isn’t worldwide and he isn’t looked upon as the world-beater that he is.

Therefore, for these reasons, Saul qualifies to be the most underrated football in the world currently.
