5 best midfielders in La Liga at the moment

#3 Saul Niguez

Saul Niguez is undoubtedly one of Atletico Madrid's best players

One of the most talented young Spanish footballers in the world right now, Saul Niguez has been extremely consistent for Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid side this season. While the Rojiblancos were slightly below their best in La Liga, it is in the Champions League where Saul and Atletico wowed the world with their excellent and solid displays.

The versatile 22-year-old has played a number of positions with equal aplomb and class for Atletico Madrid this year. Be it in a defensive midfielder position, winger or even as a playmaker, Saul has been the go-to man for Simeone whenever the going has got tough.

The youngster was heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, but he recently signed a stunning 10-year-contract affirming his loyalty towards Los Rojiblancos. Atletico Madrid will be looking to build their team around the talented Spaniard.

Still only 22, Saul has the potential to become a legend like Andres Iniesta in the future.
