Probably the best player in Barcelona last season after Lionel Messi, Pedri, will absolutely be one of the main players for the club next season as well. Koeman’s best job last season was the discovery of the 18-year-old wonder-boy, Pedri. The Spanish midfielder moved to Barca from Palmas, however, no one knew just how much influence he would have until Koeman took a gamble on him. He is a passionate, determined and courageous young player, who has skills similar to Andres Iniesta. The player’s amazing vision and passing ability makes him one of the key players for Barcelona next season. He had a great Euros with Spain as well, and he was rightfully named the Young Player of the Tournament.
