11 most versatile players in football right now

#4 Thomas Muller (Bayern Munich)

Thomas Muller has been an integral part of Bayern Munich's and Germany's recent success

Muller is a player capable of playing in a variety of positions. Coming through the Bayern Munich youth system, the German was initially seen as a midfielder but he is deployed in more attacking positions these days for Bayern Munich.

One of the most intelligent players in the game, Muller this season alone has played as a centre-forward, right-forward, and central attacking midfielder. The German himself has described his role as Raumdeuter, which translates to “interpreter of space”.

While his style of play might not look too aesthetically pleasing, there is no doubting the fact that the Bayern Munich superstar is one of the most effective players in the game and his versatility has been put to good use by Joachim Low and Jupp Heynckes this season.

Muller will be looking to replicate his 2010 and 2014 World Cup heroics at Russia 2018.
