#5 Eder Militao (Brazil)
The Canaries may not have to fret over Thiago Silva’s fading powers, for they might have already found a replacement in Eder Militao, who only recently completed his big-money move to Real Madrid after a prolific season with FC Porto.
Averaging 2.2 interceptions per 90 minutes last season - higher than Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane, Eder is constantly anticipating and proactive. He can get into intelligent positions and doesn’t leave much breathing space for the attackers.
So athletically gifted, it’s easy to forget that he’s only 21 years old. But there’s more to his game than just lightning bolt speed. Eder also breaks forward when an opportunity presents itself, showcasing his attacking abilities that you’d normally expect from a Brazilian defender.
The Copa America will effectively serve as a prelude to what he has in store for his new suitors Real Madrid.
