Currently At: Everton

Position: Defender

England's right-back was arguably the most underrated player of the tournaments winning side.

Whilst fellow Everton academy player Ademola Lookman and Liverpool's new boy Dominic Solanke grabbed the plaudits in the media, Everton's young defensive prospect Jonjo Kenny was consistently excellent as part of England's defence, showing he had the ability and passion to succeed in both areas of the modern full back, from vital blocks at one end to dangerous crosses at the other.

Whilst Ronald Koeman is renown for playing youth, Kenny has been restricted to just two senior appearances. Everton will be desperate to hold onto him but he is behind Mason Holgate in the pecking order and it's yet to be seen whether he is believed to be a long term successor to Seamus Coleman.

If it's time for Kenny to seek first team football elsewhere, there will be plenty of other clubs interested in signing him this summer.

Clubs That He'd Suit: Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Huddersfield
