Top 10 midfielders in La Liga this season (2019/20)

#7 MARTIN ODEGAARD, REAL SOCIEDAD

Martin Odegaard has been Real Sociedad's best player

Real Sociedad have assembled an exciting set of players this season, and Martin Odegaard is undoubtedly one of their best.

On loan from Real Madrid, Odegaard has been Real Sociedad's best player in la Liga. Already touted as the long-term heir to Luka Modric's throne, the Norway international's creativity and vision have stood out. The 21-year has played as a central midfielder as well as a no.10 this season.

The former Vitesse player has played 30 games in the league so far, scoring four goals and providing six assists. He leads the squad for key passes per game as well as dribbles per game.

#6 NABIL FEKIR, REAL BETIS

Nabil Fekir in action for Real Betis

When Nabil Fekir decided to join Real Betis from Lyon for a fee of €20 million last summer, it raised a lot of eyebrows. The France international had been very close to a big-money move to Liverpool the season before, only for the deal to collapse.

Liverpool's loss has been Betis' gain, apparently. Fekir has been in fine form this season, playing in a variety of positions across midfield and attack. The 26-year old has been at the forefront of many Betis attacks.

Fekir has made 31 appearances this season in the league, scoring seven goals and providing four assists. He leads the squad for shots per game and dribbles per game, coming third for key passes per game.

#5 THOMAS PARTEY, ATLETICO MADRID

Thomas Partey has been linked with Arsenal

Thomas Partey has been persistently linked with a move to Arsenal this summer, and you can see why.

A defensive behemoth, Partey has arguably been Diego Simeone's most important midfielder this season. The Ghana international has consistently put in top-quality performances, and some top European clubs are said to be interested. Capable of playing as a centre-back if needed, the 27-year old's versatility would be useful for any club.

This season the former Mallorca man has played 34 games in the league. A good dribbler, he leads the squad for dribbles per game, also registering good defensive numbers.

#4 DANI PAREJO, VALENCIA

Valencia captain Dani Parejo

Valencia are having a dissapointing season, but captain Dani Parejo continues to be one of the best midfielders in the league.

A perennially underrated performer, the former Real Madrid man has made more than 350 appearances in all competitions for the club since 2011. A very good passer with exceptional leadership qualities, the 31-year old has perhaps been one of the few positives for Valencia this season.

The Spain international has made 34 league appearances for Valencia, scoring eight goals and providing three assists. He leads the squad for key passes per game.
