The stand-out member of their defence is Brazilian Thiago Silva, who looks destined to have a great World Cup and attract the attentions of the top sides in the world. However, he's not alone as he is supported by the experience of compatriot Alex and Dutchman Gregory Van Der Wiel. On top of this, they also have Lucas Digne €“ one of the most promising young defenders in world football. Their midfield is also bolstering with talent as it includes the likes of Javier Pastore, Lucas Moura, Blaise Matuidi and Yohan Cabaye, who Premier League fans know all too well. They've managed to put together a squad that has a core of decent French internationals, as well as young stars from across the globe. For added success, they've also thrown experienced players into the mix. Supporting Ibrahimovic upfront is Edison Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi, who both attracted the interest of several clubs, including some in the Premier League, when they left Napoli. In short, there is not a weak area of the PSG side.
