5) Pedro Chirivella
Rated as ‘The Next Xabi Alonso,’ Chirivella arrived from Valencia for £200k when he was 16, and is one of the most technically gifted players in the academy. So much so, Real Madrid are reportedly lining up a deal to bring him back to Spain. Chirivella is composed in possession, passes the ball simply but crisply, and provides a solid platform at the base of midfield.
