Ozan Tufan
The 20-year-old midfielder erupted onto to scene when he scored on his international debut in the 2-1 win against Denmark. Tufan has risen from total obscurity to being linked with everyone from Manchester United to Juventus within the space of a season. The assiduous midfielder is just as comfortable playing a defensive role – 2.3 tackles and 1.7 interceptions per-game (Whoscored) – as he is in a more advanced position – 1.2 key passes per game. Only Volkan Şen provided more assists (12) than Tufan (9) for the Green Crocodiles last season.
