#1 Marco Asensio

21-year-old Marco Asensio has gradually earned a name for himself over the course of a year. The Spanish international’s left foot is enough to horrify opposition defenders any time of the day. The youngster was an integral cog in Real Madrid’s Champions League victory last season as he scored in the all-important final against Juventus.
Asensio has a high footballing IQ which makes him a manager’s favourite to be on a pitch when their team is under pressure. The Spaniard can create chances out of nowhere with his great technique on the ball and the knack of linking the defence with the attack.
His agile and tactile movements on the pitch with short bursts of pace with the ball make him a very hard player to dispossess. One of Zinedine Zidane’s favourites, Asensio is bound to be a future star if he continues to surprise everyone with his decisive skills and thunderous strikes.
