Club: Ajax

Position: D, DM, M (C)

Riechedly Bazoer is one of the most promising talents in the game, let alone the Netherlands. Though a defensive player by trade, Bazoer is no basic bruiser, and he comes with the great technique (15) and first touch (15) you'd expect from a graduate of Ajax's legendary academy.

A solid all-rounder to start, he soon becomes one of Europe's hottest midfielders, and excels as both an advanced and deep lying playmaker. He's also capable of playing as an intelligent, ball-playing CB, and can even do a job in attacking midfield.
