No doubt clubs will be casting an eye toward Juventus' Rodrigo Bentacur, should he shine in the tournament

The 20-year-old joined Juventus ahead of last season, and was part of the deal which saw Carlos Tevez return to his homeland and join Boca Juniors in 2015. He is versatile, meaning he can play in a number of positions across the midfield, powerful and has a great passing ability.

Moving to the Serie A club for €9.5m, this was then followed up by an international call-up. In his first major World Cup involvement, he could be pivotal in his side reaching the last-16.
