Emre Can – Germany and Liverpool
The versatile midfielder – also capable of playing in central defence and full-back – has won plenty of supporters at Anfield, despite the Reds’ miserable campaign. The 21-year-old is confident on the ball and coped with the pressure of being handed a variety of positions by Brendan Rodgers throughout his debut season. Liverpool need to feel the void left by talisman Steven Gerrard, and an impressive tournament could see his club manager hand him a starring role on Merseyside.
