#4 Dani Ceballos

2017 MLS All-Star Game: Real Madrid v MLS All-Stars
Dani Ceballos could be a vital cog in Real Madrid's future.

Dani Ceballos began his professional career at the tender age of 18 for Real Betis back in 2014. Despite his relative inexperience, the youngster featured prominently for the Andalusian side and duly impressed with his performances.

Over three years, he managed an average pass accuracy of 83% whilst picking up four Man of the Match awards along the way.

However, it was during the 2017 Under-21 European Championships that Ceballos really announced himself with sparkling performances, securing the Player of the Tournament award, as Spain romped to the final.

Needless to say, his efforts didn't go unnoticed as Real Madrid came calling and snapped him up in the summer of 2017.

In 14 appearances for Madrid this season, his undeniable talent has been on display on more than one occasion, chipping in with two goals and maintaining an average pass accuracy of over 94%.

With Luka Modric at 32 years of age and Toni Kroos approaching his thirties, Real Madrid will need to infuse their midfield with young blood in years to come and Dani Ceballos looks like an able and gifted addition to the pack.
