There's a big fuss over Mateo Kovacic. He's said to be one of the most gifted players of his generation, and Real paid a hefty sum over the summer to sign the Croatian from Inter Milan.

Kovacic now finds himself playing in the same squad as idol Luka Modric, but if he wants to emulate the former Tottenham man he'll need to prove himself in Spain first. His overall rating of 78 on FIFA 16 seems rather low for such a talented player, but his sub-attributes are quite impressive.

The 21-year-old boasts very good passing, dribbling and pace ratings, while he's four-star across the board for weak foot and skill moves. Handy.
