David Neres - £28.8 million

The next generation of Brazilian wingers

Brazil has always been known for producing scintillating wingers and David Neres looks set to be the next in line from the football-crazy nation. The 21-year old's brilliant solo goal against Juventus at the Johan Cruyff Arena helped skyrocket the Brazilian transfer value with a number of clubs now looking to sign the boy from Sao Paulo.

Neres joined the Dutch giants in 2017 Sao Paulo and was an instant hit in the Dutch league. The 21-year old scored 11 goals and made 14 assists in his debut season but it's his second season that has taken the World by storm. Starting the season with uncertainty over first-team chances with the arrival of Dusan Tadic, the Brazilian was rumoured to be on the way out but in a twist of fate found his form and turned into one of the most important player's for the Dutch giants.

The Brazilian has racked up 50 appearances for the Dutch giants this season scoring 12 goals and making 15 assists this season.

Neres has averaged over 1.5 shots, 1.1 key passes and 1.8 dribbles per 90 mins and has a pass success rate of over 85%. The 21-year old also has a 39% success in attacking duels as well as 17% shot accuracy.

Unfortunately for the Dutch giants, David Neres is unlikely to stay with the club with many big names in Europe looking for exciting wingers.

There is a new African stalwart on the block, the name of Hakim Ziyech has been doing the rounds for quite some time now even before the Dutch giant's campaign. The Moroccan international had caught the eye of the scouts during his teams World Cup run but it's his performances that have skyrocketed his fame and name.

Hakim Ziyech moved to Ajax in 2016, enjoying average goal success in his first two seasons. The arrival of Dusan Tadic from Southampton this season though has seen the Moroccan forming a deadly partnership with the Serbian. The deadly duo have been in scintillating form all season and scoring 36 goals between them in the league.

The Moroccan has been involved in 47 matches for Ajax all season scoring 21 goals and making 19 assists this season, his best ever individual season.

The winger has averaged about 5 shots, 3 key passes and 2.5 dribbles per match. He has also averaged around 2 successful crosses per match and has a successful pass percentage of around 75%.

Unfortunately for Ajax, The Moroccan will be on the move after Ajax confirmed that Ziyech will leave the club.
