The top 5 midfielders plying their trade in the 2018/2019 Serie A season

#2 Sergej Milinkovic-Savic (Lazio)

Milinkovic-Savic is the most sought-after midfielder at the moment

Considered as one of the most promising players in the world, Savic has already attracted the interest of some of the biggest European clubs. He chose to remain at Lazio, however, it is only sure that the Serb will be again in the centre of attention in the coming transfer windows.

Savic, despite being only 23, possesses an astonishing combination of defensive and attacking qualities. Last season, the Lazio's midfielder scored 14 times, provided 9 assists and created at least 45 chances for his team.

His dominance in defensive plays was also evident. Milinkovic-Savic, in arguably his best season in his career, averaged 0.9 interceptions and clearances per game while his pass accuracy exceeded an 80%. Moreover, in the past season, he scored more goals (12) than any other Serie A midfielder.

His imposing posture helps him dominate the field, evident by the fact that, during last season, Savic won around 2.4 aerial duels. Moreover, he averaged 1.5 key passes and 1.6 successful dribbles per game making him a threat to every defence.

An intelligent but also physically talented player, Savic is destined to become one of the best midfielders in the world. His tactical versatility, his vision on the field and his creativity combined with a remarkable diligence on his defensive responsibilities are only mere indications of his talent.
