5 best midfielders above the age of 30

#4 Blaise Matuidi (30)

Juventus pulled off a major coup by securing the services of Blaise Matuidi

One of the best signings of the summer transfer window, new Juventus recruit Blaise Matuidi has quickly settled into his surroundings and has shown why he is so highly rated by his peers.

Described as a “fierce and strong” tackler. Matuidi is adept at winning the ball back and starting off his team’s attacks. The Frenchman is also blessed with unbelievable stamina and his runs from midfield often creates space by drawing opponents out of position.

While the likes of Dybala, Chiellini and Higuain get all the attention, Matuidi's addition this year could help Juventus take the extra step and finally win Europe's premier competition this season.

An absolute engine who gives it his all in every game, the Frenchman's stupendous fitness coupled with his excellent positioning skills has seen him become the game's premier box-to-box midfielder.
