18. Paul Pogba (Juventus)
This midfield powerhouse was inexplicably left out of first-team affairs during his time at Manchester United, which saw him leave the club on a free transfer last summer for Italian champions Juventus. Even in the Serie A side’s star-studded lineup, Pogba has looked very much the part and has been attracting interest from United’s Premier League rivals Manchester City and Arsenal. The 20-year-old is very much in the Yaya Toure mould, in his ability to both break up attacks and start them. He posseses great natural physique, as well as exceptional technique with some memorable long-range goals for Juve this year. Patrick Vieira rates him as France’s best young player at the moment, and that is some compliment from one of the finest midfielders the game has seen.
