Tiemoue Bakayoko (Rennes)
Age: 19
Position: Defensive midfield
Rennes teenager Tiemoue Bakayoko has been a fantastic screen for his team’s defence this season, averaging 2.9 tackles and 1.6 interceptions in Ligue 1 fixtures.
Whilst an excellent destructive player, Bakayoko’s next task will be to involve himself more in his team’s play when they have possession.
Would be the ideal signing for: Everton. If Gareth Barry goes back to Manchester City at the end of the season when his loan finishes, another enforcer may be required to play alongside James McCarthy.
