Best under 23 XI so far this season

Center Midfielder; Arthur Melo (Barcelona)

Tottenham Hotspur v FC Barcelona - UEFA Champions League Group B

Arthur has gelled well with the Barcelona style of play just a few months into his time with the Blaugrana.

The 22-year-old likes to express himself more on the ball and Barcelona have provided him with the perfect platform to do so. Arthur was an integral part of Gremio's Copa Libertadores crown in 2017 and it might not be long till he replicates that in Catalonia.

The Brazilian might be the type of player that Barcelona has been missing in the middle of the park since the departure of Xavi, the link between Busquets and Lionel Messi.

Stats might not show you the real picture but the Brazilian has all the skills to perform the 'Xavi role' even though he is not on Xavi's level just yet.

Arthur is very good at keeping the ball, resisting the press and quick recycling of possession. He is a player capable of moving the whole team at his will.

This season, he has an average of 88 passes per game with a success rate of 94.8%. He has also completed 4.3 long balls and 1.4 key passes per game.
