Jacob Greaves

What I admire about Jacob Greaves is that he chose the unglamorous craft of defending. At 193 cm, he is built to dominate aerial duels, but the centre-back's real art is anticipation, not just height. Reaching the Premier League with Ipswich Town as a young Englishman born in 2000 tells me he is steady and dependable, the kind of player coaches trust to quiet an opposing striker. Forwards get the headlines, but defenders like him decide titles. I am genuinely curious to see how far his composure and reading of the game can carry him in the seasons ahead.
