Potential Rating: 88

Current Rating: 83

Club: Atlético de Madrid

Age: 21

Position: CB

As an indication of just how highly rated José María Giménez is in Spain, both Real Madrid and Barcelona were linked with him this summer after some imperious performances at the heart of Athletico Madrid's defence. He's strong, athletic and powerful and while his temperament might be a little questionable at times, he is surely set to be one of the best La Liga defenders in the next few years.

He's already impressed enough to earn him a starting rating of 83 - which in context is just 1 point below Raphael Varane - but with the potential to get up to 88, he's definitely viewed as one of the best central defensive prospects in the game.
