A player described as "a mixture of Kaka and Clarence Seedorf" by Giovanni Trapattoni (as reported by Goal.com) is surely doing something right, and Mateo Kovacic has the ability to back up such talk. The young Croatian is a regular for both Inter Milan and his international side, operating in a variety of positions - from a supporting striker role to a deep-lying playmaker. He doesn't score many goals, but more than makes up for it with his vision and commitment. He played every game of Croatia's 2014 World Cup campaign, demonstrating his importance even at such an early stage of his career.
