James Tarkowski

Tarkowski is exactly the kind of footballer I admire most: a no-frills centre-back who climbed the hard way, from League One Oldham up through Brentford and Burnley to the Premier League with Everton. He won't make highlight reels of stepovers, but he'll throw his body in front of shots and dominate aerial duels all afternoon. That gritty, ladder-climbing path is far more impressive to me than any overnight wonderkid story. He's the unglamorous backbone every winning side needs, and at 185cm of pure commitment, he's become quietly indispensable. I'll always cheer for the craftsman over the showman.
