The next name on our list is the young Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez, who is making the right noises with his performances for the Catalan giants in the middle of the park. The Spaniard is fluid in his movement, can make a defence-splitting pass and is very tidy with the ball at his feet, forcing coaches and critics to label him as the next Andres Iniesta.

The industrious midfielder played a pivotal role at Villarreal in the previous season as the club finished amongst the top 4 clubs in Spain and also reached the Europa League semi-finals.

Such was his impact at the club that Barcelona, who had sold him only in the summer of 2015 were more than eager to bring him back to the club by activating the buy-back clause they had inserted in their agreement with Villarreal.

The player has not disappointed and seems to be picking up where he left off last season. He has functioned excellently as the player that links up his side’s defence and attack and is believed to feature in the long term plans of Luis Enrique at the club.

With Iniesta in the twilight of his career, the club have done well to bring back one of the best midfielders in Spain in order to not only afford him time with the side but also help him develop as a player under the aegis of the star midfielder.
