Team: Atletico Madrid
Position: Defender
Age: 22
From the moment Uruguayan Jose Gimenez was thrown in at the deep end during the 2014 World Cup, he has proven himself. England fans will remember him marking Daniel Sturridge out of the game as the Three Lions edged towards an exit.
He moved to Atletico Madrid and impressed, making 55 league appearances over two seasons.
Gimenez is a strong defender with reasonable distribution and very similar in style to international colleague Diego Godin.
But an issue for Gimenez is that he has fallen out of favour under manager Diego Simeone and may have to move on for his own sake. Good news for any buyers - his contract runs out next summer.
