Marquinhos

Marquinhos if you haven't heard of him already, will probably become the best centre-back in the game.

At the age of 19 he moved from AS Roma to Paris Saint-Germain for a whopping fee of €31.4 million, after spending just a single year at Roma who spent €3 million to acquire the teenager.

Put simply Marquinhos is the perfect centre-back. The 20 year old has everything the ideal defender needs. It is no wonder then why PSG spent so much to get him and also tied him down to a 5 year contract.

Marquinhos has pace, strength, heading and tackling ability etc. Whatever qualities you think a centre-back should have, he has. But what sets Marquinhos apart is the intangibles. The mental part of the game. Despite being so young he shows incredible temperament and the ability to remain calm and undaunted no matter what challenge faces him. His vision and anticipation of play is also extraordinary. He makes the game a whole lot easier for himself by reading the play, anticipating through balls and attackers' movements.

Moving to such a huge club for the kind of money he did can come with a lot of pressure but Marquinhos seems to handle it with ease putting in consistent performances for the French champions.

Marquinhos is certainly one of the most promising young players in Europe and has the talent to become the best in his position. Definitely one to keep your eye on.
