10 most underrated footballers in the game today

Cicinho (Sevilla FC)

Cicinho

Brazilian right-back Cicinho oozes class, and made 27 La Liga appearances in his debut season with Sevilla last year before getting injured and having to undergo knee surgery. Exceptionally strong in defence, he has shown the ability to make attacking runs forward too, but has never donned the Brazilian jersey. Like compatriot Dani Alves, who too played for Sevilla at one point, Cicinho wants to continue to make a mark with the club, where he is a star in his own right.

Strengths: Tackling, dribbling, passing
