#3 Fikayo Tomori

The John Terry of the group, Fikayo Tomori was Chelsea FC's Youth Player of the season for 2016. From being a player who jumps into tackles recklessly and has a bad temperament, he worked hard on his character and positional awareness to become crucial for the team as shown by him scoring in both the FA and UEFA Youth cup finals.

He loves to defend one on one and has an aggression about him to win the ball back. In a day where the defenders like to be safer in their positioning and tackle, Tomori brings the old school defending back. And just because of this one reason, he is a player to watch.
