Football Manager 2022: 10 Defensive Midfielders You Must Sign

10. Nohan Kenneh

Club: Leeds Utd

Nationality: England

Price: £500,000

Of all of the players on this list, Nohan Kenneh is the cheapest option. Available for £500,000 or less, this 18-year-old is 100% worth taking a punt on.

Usually, Kenneh turns out to be a great defensive midfielder who will play for one of the traditional 'big boys' for years to come. And even if he happens to not quite hit those heights on your FM22 save, that fee of £500,000 means it's a no-brainer to at least take a chance on him.

As is so often the case, a good training schedule and minutes on the pitch will serve to amp up Kenneh's admittedly so-so starting stats. This is the sort of signing who you're best picking up and then either loaning out or making sure he's starting games in a competitive reserves league. Then again, if you're a lower league team who are able to convince Leeds to let Kenneh go, he may well be an inspired name to put straight into your starting line-up.

At just 18, Kenneh's stats were never going to be particularly awe-inspiring when starting a new game, but there's certainly a lot to work with here. And again, that cheap price means Nohan is a 'can't lose' signing.
