Denny Vries

After shattering his shoulder in a freak kite-surfing accident, this blistering Dutch striker transformed his rehab into a masterclass of pure pace and terrifying shot power. He moves with a calm, predatory grace that makes his devastating long-range strikes look effortless, even if his close-quarters dribbling sometimes leaves him tangled in his own feet. His journey back from agony has forged a clinical mentality that ensures he strikes with surgical precision whenever he finds a yard of space.
