#5 Miralem Pjanic
Bought by Juventus as a replacement for Paul Pogba, 27-year-old Miralem Pjanic has quickly settled into his role as the chief playmaker in this very impressive Juventus side. Gifted with amazing technical ability, playmaking skills and tactical versatility, Pjanic is also exceptional at taking free-kicks.
It is not often that a visiting team’s midfielder is the best midfielder on the pitch at Camp Nou. But, during Juventus’ momentous Champions League victory against Barcelona, Pjanic was arguably the best player on the pitch in the second leg.
Having settled in well at Turin, Pjanic is proving to be an upgrade on Pogba and that too at €73 million profit. With 8 assists, 8 goals and an incredible pass accuracy of 89%, Pjanic is definitely one of the best playmakers in world football at the moment.
The Bosnian has been linked with a move to Arsenal and more surprisingly Barcelona in the recent few weeks though Juventus will be desperate to hold on to their star midfielder for the 2017/18 season.
