4. Nevan Subotic
The Serbian has just enjoyed a terrific season with Borussia Dortmund, helping the Black-Yellows reach the final of the Champions League. Subotic, a long-term target for Manchester United and Real Madrid, first appeared on Chelsea's radar
two years ago but the 24-year-old instead opted to stay at the Westfalenstadion. Since then the centre-back has helped Dortmund win back-to-back Bundesliga crowns, the DFB Pokal and the German Super Cup, while he was an integral cog in Jurgen Klopp's Champions League squad season, helping his side to the final. Very few who watched the final against Bayern Munich are ever likely to forget his
superb goal-line clearance that day. With an unguarded, gaping net lying at the mercy of Arjen Robben, Subotic denied a certain goal with an incredible last-ditch challenge to deny Bayern. It is performances such as these that have helped Subotic develop a reputation as one of Europe's most solid defenders and win an army of suitors from across the continent.
