Oguzhan Ozyakup (Turkey)

Ozyakup is a former Arsenal youth product who was never really afforded an opportunity in the first team.

After representing the Netherlands at youth level, Ozyakup made the decision to play for Turkey at full level. Since leaving the Gunners back in 2012, the playmaker has come on leaps and bounds, culminating in firing Besiktas back to the top of the Turkish league table for the first time in seven years.

A small, nippy player, Ozyakup links well with Turkey’s talisman, Hakan Calhanoglu which could be a deadly partnership for the Turks.

Vladimir Darida (Czech Republic)

Darida is the James Milner of Czech Republic, but with a bit more quality on the ball. If Czech Republic are going to make it out of their group this summer, Darida will be a big reason as to why.

The energy he brings to Pavel Vrba’s side is something none of the rest of the squad are able to provide, and he allows some of the more technically gifted players to flourish around him. Linked with Real Madrid in January, Darida will no doubt have a few clubs sniffing around him after another strong season for Hertha Berlin saw them finish in the Europa League spots.
