The 4 rivals to Arturo Vidal’s ‘World’s best midfielder’ claim, with Chelsea & Arsenal aces

Ramires – Chelsea

The Brazilian midfielder is probably not in Vidal’s elite company, but is one of the first names on Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea team sheet. He provides constant energy up and down the entire pitch for the entire 90 minutes, and his work-rate is comparable to Vidal. Ramires is also rangy, and can cover ground quickly, although he offers nowhere near the same attacking and creative threat as the Chilean. Defensively though, he’s his equal.
