4. Marquinhos (Paris Saint-Germain)
Marquinhos enjoyed a brilliant season with AS Roma after signing from Corinthians in 2012, but the then 18 year-old was considered a prospect for the future rather than someone capable of making an immediate impact.
The Brazilian did make his mark though, swiftly earning a place alongside Leandro Castan in the Giallorossi defence, and just a year after Marquinhos moved to the Italian capital for a nominal fee, Paris Saint-Germain coughed up €31.4 million to bring him to Parc des Princes.
Marquinhos has been so impressive since moving to PSG that he could yet make the centre back position his own over the next decade.
