Another right-back with bags of potential evidence by the fact that he plays for a club of Real Madrid's stature famed with the power to spend big in the market. Achraf has come of age and he is strongly growing into his own and well- he has a Champions League medal to his credit.

The Moroccan international will also be at the World Cup in Russia largely because of his contribution to Madrid's course. Compared to Trent-Arnold, he has found playing time a bit hard to come by due to the presence of Daniel Carvajal in the first team having made 17 appearances in the 2017-2018 season.

Promoted from the Castilla as a back-up to Carvajal, he made his debut for the Los Blancos last October against RCD Espanyol before scoring his first for the club in a 5-0 win over Sevilla in December. He has always played for Morocco having represented them at all age-grade level before finally making his debut two years ago against Canada in a 4-0 win. With a lot of rough edge to his play which is only awaiting some fine-tuning and polishing, he has shown enough to be reckoned with and recognized as one for the future.
