Undoubtedly Fiorentina’s best player and up there with the very best performers in Serie A this season. Colombian winger Juan Cuadrado is another impressive member of this surprise package in the World Cup, with the 26-year-old notching up one goal and four assists in the tournament so far, helping his side into the quarter-finals. A skillful and pacey winger, Cuadrado finished the 2013/14 season with a superb record of 15 goals and eight assists for his club, and is now one of the most sought-after talents in Europe.
