My Take
Dayot Upamecano is one of the more compelling modern centre-backs to watch. At 186 cm he combines genuine pace with the ball-playing comfort that defines the position's evolution, and being trusted to anchor Bayern Munich's defence and the French national team while still young speaks volumes. He occasionally gives the ball away in ways that make you wince, but that risk is inseparable from his ambition on the ball. I find players in mid-development like this fascinating, because the ceiling is so high. I genuinely believe he is among the defenders who will shape the next decade of football.
