FIFA 18 Career Mode: 10 Wonderkids You Will Need To Sign

8. Dani Ceballos (Real Betis)

Real Betis midfielder Dani Ceballos is one of Spain's hottest prospects at the moment. Fresh off a star turn at the recent European Under-21 Championships, the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona are reportedly sizing up an offer for the 20 year old, whose current contract has a ridiculously low release clause worth just €12 million.

Acquiring Ceballos will be tricky if he moves to one of Spain's giants, but not impossible. Both teams are flush with talent in his position, making it unlikely that he'll force his way into the XI, thus opening up the prospect of a transfer in the second or third window.

In terms of attributes, Ceballos is a driving, powerful central midfielder who's constantly looking to initiate attacks by spotting gaps that few other players recognise. He excels as a ball carrier, but is also highly adept at recycling possession as a more conventional playmaker, making him a great candidate for a number of different CM roles. You probably won't be picking him up for €12 million in game, but Ceballos definitely needs to be on your radar.
