Gonzalez has been one of the most instrumental players in the surprise package called Costa Rica at 2014 World Cup. The 26-year-old has been a dominating presence at the back keeping opposition attackers at bay. And shining in a defence that had to face threats like Uruguay, Italy and England in the Group of Death is no easy task. Major European clubs are keeping an eye on this defender, thus his days with MLS side Columbus Crew could well be over.
