Yet another superb Spanish midfielder, David Silva is a playmaker by trade but just as comfortable playing on either wing or as a deep-lying striker. While Silva isn’t as renowned as some of his Spanish teammates, he is nevertheless one of the wheels that makes the team tick. He has held his Valencia club side together through some tough times, and that the club has never sold him for the many millions it was offered time and time again, despite a prolonged period of financial hardship, is telling. It’s players like Silva that will ensure that Spain will be a power for years to come.

Scouting thumbnail: Short, elegant playmaker who can play anywhere across the front or operate as a central midfielder. Primarily a creator of goals for his teammates due to unsurpassed vision.
