Top 10 Players From The 2015 U21 European Championships

5. Emre Can

It's frankly bizarre that Brendan Rodgers played Emre Can as a defender for the majority of last season. Moving from Bayer Leverkusen for around £10 million to Liverpool last summer was regarded as a good bit of business by the Merseyside club but it came as a surprise to most Bundesliga fans that he wasn't a direct replacement for Steven Gerrard. Commonly known in Germany for his box-to-box ability and general midfield presence he demonstrated exactly that throughout the Under-21 Championship. Can's natural ability to retain possession, tackle, and carry the ball effectively is extremely exciting for Liverpool fans as, aged just 21, he is only going to get better. During Germany's first game of the tournament against Serbia, the Liverpool man received the ball on the edge of the box before dropping his shoulder, beating a defender and slotting the ball into the corner from the edge of the box. It won't be long before Premier League fans start drooling over his ability.
