The French youth international is presently among the most promising defenders in the Bundesliga and he improved significantly during his time with RB Leipzig.

Dayot Upamecano is blessed with great reactions and can recover from any position. His huge frame, standing over 6ft help him steal the ball away from attackers and he uses his rapid pace to eliminate counter-attacking threats.

The 20-year-old played 47 games for RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga, scoring three times. He won the UEFA European Under-17 Championship 2015 and was also included in the Team of the Tournament for his performances.

Dayot Upamecano was linked with a move to Barcelona in the last summer transfer window but the move failed to materialise. However, the Blaugrana could again turn their attention towards him if he continues to impress for Leipzig.
