3) Yeltsin Tejeda (Costa Rica)
Whilst Premier League duo Joel Campbell and Bryan Ruiz have earned the headlines for Costa Rica in their stunning run to the 2014 FIFA World Cup knock-out stages, it is the tenacious midfield displays of Yeltsin Tejeda that have been as important as anything else. The 22 year-old, who is named after former Russian president Boris, has made over 100 appearances for Costa Rican club side Saprissa and is surely reaching a level where a move to a major league will be forthcoming.
