#3 Aymeric Laporte
The French youngster has often flirted with the idea of becoming a world class talent but it’s never fully manifested for him. Now at the age of 23, Laporte has built up enough experience to translate into commanding performances.
Laporte excels in everything a defender should, he’s good at; aerial duels, tackling, marking, interceptions and passing out from the back.
His consistently dominant performances last year helped push Athletic Bilbao to a 7th place finish. Now Laporte has the foundation laid to excel into that of household status.
