Midfield
Central defensive midfielder: Emre Can (Liverpool)
The Bayern Munich academy graduate signed for Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen for £9.75 million in 2014.

While the Turkish born midfielder primarily operates in a holding role, he sometimes ventures forward to join the attack, and does so quite impressively. He's almost always the first choice for Liverpool in midfield, and also has 20 caps for Germany at just 23 years of age.
He's been linked with both Juventus and Manchester United for a while now, and a January move to Italy seems very much on the cards.
Central midfielder: Aaron Ramsey (Arsenal)
Ramsey came through the youth ranks at Cardiff, and Arsenal had to fend off a lot of competition to sign him for £5 million in 2008.
It took him a while to get into the Gunners' first team, becoming regular only in 2011. For the incredible potential that he had as a teenager at Cardiff, some might argue that he hasn't quite hit his peak yet.
But Ramsey can provide flashes of brilliance when needed, combining his excellent technical skills with a very high work rate. He's still only 26-years-old, and has formed a good midfield partnership with Granit Xhaka this season.
Central attacking midfielder: Dele Alli (Tottenham Hotspur)
Tottenham's scouting network uncovered another gem in Dele Alli when they signed him for £5 million back in 2015. He was immediately loaned back to MK Dons for the remainder of the season, but made an instant impact after linking up with the Spurs squad in the summer.
Over roughly two and a half seasons, he has a very impressive return of 31 goals in 84 matches, with 18 of those coming last season. He's also known for having a very short temper, but he's still only 21, and will only mature further with age.
When Wayne Rooney's decline began for both club and country, Alli is quickly establishing himself as the national team captain's long-term successor, earning 22 caps in just 3 years.
