#4 Jose Gimenez

Marseille v Atletico Madrid - UEFA Europa League - Final - Parc Olympique Lyonnais
Gimenez and Godin form one of Europe's most lethal defensive pairings

The Atletico Madrid centre-half has already had a wonderful career and yet, is only 23 years old. The youngster from FC Danubio is the heart and soul of both his club and country's defence and along with captain Diego Godin, forms one of the world's most lethal defensive pairings.

Having missed half of the latest season due to a serious injury, Gimenez bounced back with a few spectacular performances and was one of the more important members of 'Los Rojiblancos' Europa League winning team.

Blessed with immense power and positioning prowess, Gimenez is the stereotypical modern-day centre-back which every club envies of owning. Dominant and physical, yet skilful and precise, the Uruguay defender is a wanted man across the biggest clubs in Europe. Adding a successful World Cup to his ever-growing resume will only sky-rocket his transfer value.
