Milan Badelj (Hamburg SV)
The former Dinamo Zagreb midfielder arrived at HSV when the club was in dire straits, and in true playmaker style, worked deep in the midfield to allow his teammates, Dutchman Rafael van der Vaart and attacker Heung-Min Son to shine. With an average pass accuracy of 81% last season and placing third in the Bundesliga in number of tackles made, the Croat has not been capped too often for his national side, although a move to a top club could help him evolve into the star player he has the potential to be.
Strengths: Passing, tackling, ball interception
