Joseph Brekalo is regarded as the next big thing after Luka Modric in Croatia. He made his debut as a professional footballer in December 2015 for Dinamo Zagreb. Currently, on loan at Stuttgart, Brekalo represents the U-21 side of Croatia.

The 19-year-old has a lightning pace that allows him to get past defenders with ease. His dribbling skills haven't gone unnoticed, just like his ability with long shots. The Croat has also been blessed with a good vision which helps him create a number of chances from the flanks. At times, he can also function as a central attacking midfielder.

It won't be a long time before the talented teenager makes his mark as one of the best players of his generation in the coming years.
