#9 Saul Niguez (Atletico Madrid)
One of the most talented young Spanish footballers in the world right now, Saul Niguez has been extremely consistent for Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid side this season. While the Rojiblancos have been slightly below their best in La Liga this time around, it is in the Champions League where Saul and Atletico have wowed the world with their excellent and solid displays.
The versatile 22-year-old has played a number of positions with equal aplomb and class for Atletico Madrid this year. Be it in a defensive midfielder position, winger or even as a playmaker, Saul has been the go-to man for Simeone whenever the going has got tough.
Continuously linked with a move to Manchester United, Atletico Madrid will be desperate to hold onto their prized asset for at least another season. Still only 22, Saul this season has shown that he has the ability and talent to become one of the game’s household names in the future.
