#17 Matt De Ligt
Age: 18
Trending
Club: Ajax
Position: Centre-back
Nationality: Netherlands
Matthijs De Ligt is an Ajax novice, having played for them since the age of nine. One of the hottest talents playing in the Dutch Eredivisie, the 18-year-old made his professional debut in September last year.
He made his senior international debut in March 2017, despite having only 2 league games under his belt.
The Dutchman often comes out on top during the aerial duels and his 6ft 2in frame means he is a threat in set-piece situations. De Ligt is also a sturdy tackler and can pass the ball well from the back. His performances have caused a stir in the game, with FC Barcelona looking to poach the young starlet in the coming winter.
No doubt a move to the Nou Camp would up the ante for De Ligt. However, will Ajax agree on continuing to lose their star performers to other clubs?
