Asmaeil Sagne

With lightning-fast speed and an attacking intellect that consistently outwits defenders, he is a nightmare for goalkeepers despite his notoriously shaky first touch. To sharpen his focus before kickoff, he insists that a teammate ties his laces into a perfect bow, a ritual the squad meets with a mix of laughter and reverence. He is an indomitable force who owns the pitch, even if his aerial heading ability leaves much to be desired.
