Thulani Serero (Ajax, South Africa)

Thulani Serero has found plenty of success at the club level, coming off of the back of an extremely encouraging 2013/14 for Ajax. The South African is a complete midfielder, equipped with the creativity to unlock the most stubborn of defences. In some ways, Serero has blossomed as Christian Eriksen’s successor in Ajax’s 4-3-3. The Amsterdammers have been placed in an unwinnable Group F alongside European heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona. If the Dutch Champions are to have any chance of progressing as runners-up, they will need Serero at his very best, beginning this Tuesday night in Barcelona.
