Top 10 Players From The 2015 U21 European Championships
7. Sergio Oliveira
Sergio Oliveira started at Porto's youth system when he was 10-years-old and despite being relatively unknown prior to the tournament the Portugal captain, alongside teammate William Carvalho, formed the best midfield duo in the competition. The central midfielder who still hasn't been included in the Porto senior squad for the 2015/16 season will have grabbed the attention from a host of top sides as he represents a first class box-to-box midfielder. His effortless style and ability to make an impact at both ends of the pitch, similar to Cesc Fabregas or Claudio Marchisio, would make Oliveira extremely useful to most clubs if Porto decide to sell.
