ARTURO VIDAL | Bayern Munich & Chile

The best box-to-box midfielder in the world, the 29-year-old drove his Bavarian employers to a league-and-cup double last term, averaging a 90 per cent pass completion in the Bundesliga and popping up with two crucial goals in the Champions League quarter-final against Benfica. Vidal also delivered once again for his country, earning a place in the Copa America Team of the Tournament after helping Chile successfully defend the title they won on home soil last year.
