Frenkie De Jong, the 21-year-old Barcelona bound Dutch midfielder, garnered wide interest due to his sensational performances and there is little doubt that the Ajax Prodigy will be one of the players to watch out for.

It is rare for a player of his age to show immaculate control and maturity on the ball but De Jong is already touted to be the next big thing in Europe. Despite being a central midfielder, he has 3 goals to his name for Ajax in the Dutch League and his performances depict why FC Barcelona were desperate to sign him.

Frenkie De Jong can shape the tie with his ability to dominate midfield and pick out teammates by creating space. A product of the famed Ajax Academy, which is one of the finest in the world, Real Madrid rearguard and midfielders will be wary of the threat of De Jong.
