#3 Highly Adaptive Midfielder
Mateo Kovacic is a prime example of a complete midfielder. Breaking play and recovering ball possession are only some of the many qualities that the Croatian possesses in his arsenal.
As a vital play maker, dribbling the ball comes easy to him mainly because of his agility and precision in the field. Even Manchester City’s top midfielder, Fernandinho does not come close to Kovacic’s 1.7 dribbles per game.

His dribbling skills play a significant role of opening up spaces in the midfield, which then allows the strikers to score more often.
All things considered, what really makes Mateo Kovacic’s such a solid midfielder is his pass completion rate which goes to a staggering 93.8%.
His ability also makes him eligible to take any of the three available positions in the midfield. This also means that if Manchester City hires the midfielder, then he can cover up for the likes of David Silva, Kevin De Buryne and even Fernandinho.
Chelsea have been long time admirers of Real Madrid midfielder Mateo Kovacic and have received some positive news that the player is ready to quite life at Real.
