50 Players Who Will Dominate World Football In 2016

31. Alen Halilovic (Sporting De Gijon - On Loan From FC Barcelona)

Who does the 19-year-old remind you of from just looking at him? Not only does the youngest Croatian international of all time look ever so slightly like Luka Modric with his longish blonde tips, but he also plays like him too - if in a slightly more advanced position than his Galactico counterpart. Barcelona will be building their side around the midfielder over the coming years once the likes of Andrés Iniesta and Arda Turan have passed their peak. Next season, we'll surely see Halilovic integrated into the Barca squad more so he can learn off these types of player - the best around. He couldn't be in a better position, if he fails from here it's of his own doing.
