#3 Sami Khedira
Khedira is a creative defensive midfielder, who likes to go forward to join the attack to look for an opportunity to open up the opposition's defence. Being blessed with good pace and stamina, Khedira is good at tracking back and helping his defenders when the opposition counter-attacks.
He is a shrewd campaigner and has the vision to find his teammates with accurate passing. Khedira was an influential part of the Juventus side which successfully defended their Serie A title this season.
Having represented Germany in 74 matches, Khedira will be responsible for securing Germany's defence and will play a pivot role in their World Cup campaign. He will be a fascinating player to watch out for in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
