4 football youngsters who have performed brilliantly so far this season

#3 Frenkie de Jong - Ajax

Frenkie is one of the most consistent defensive midfielders in the world

When you are looking out for a complete defensive midfielder, de Jong's name surely tops the list, as Ajax's star-studded line-up this season has made everyone believe in their credibility as one of the most prestigious teams in football history.

Frenkie de Jong is described as a midfielder with 'versatility', as he can also play as a central midfielder, exploring empty spaces and developing moves for his team.

His stay with the Dutch side is uncertain, as de Jong has recently been surrounded by the likes of Manchester City and Barcelona who have been in talks to sign the young midfielder.

Ajax will ask for a big sum in order to let him go to any of the big clubs. The Dutch side are enjoying their Champions League campaign this season, therefore it wouldn't be possible to lure him in January.
