#6 Elseid Hysaj (Albania)

Elseid Hysaj
The whole of Albania will look up to Elseid Hysaj at the back

Hysaj holds the record for being involved in the second most expensive transfer move for an Albanian international for his move to Napoli from Empoli. He was one of the two players Maurizio Sarri brought with him to Naples and while the other, Mirko Valdifiori found himself on the fringes, Hysaj has been one of the pillars in Napoli’s brilliant campaign.

Excellent in defense, he rarely loses one on one battles and his forays down the right wing have led to several excellent crosses for Higuain and company. While Albania might not go too far, expect Hysaj to capture the attention of a line of European clubs in the Euros.
