Club – Dinamo Zagreb (Croatian Top Division)

Position – Attacking Midfielder

At the age of just 19, Coric has been labelled the second coming of Zidane, and every top club of Europe is tracking his development at Dinamo. Coric is a recent addition to the national side and has just 2 caps to his name, so far but his potential has everyone excited.

He contributed 4 goals and 5 assists for Dinamo last season, and the eyes of all the top clubs in Europe will be firmly on him when he takes the field for Croatia.

His goal for Dinamo against Astra Giurgiu in the 14/15 Europa League campaign saw him become the youngest ever Europa League goal scorer at the age of 17 years and 157 days. He won the 2015 Croatian League Young Players of the year award.

Croatia feature in a tough group, along with defending champions Spain, Czech Republic and Turkey. Croatia should finish second in the group behind Spain and get to the knockout rounds. However this group features 4 good sides, and surprises are likely to on offer.
