My Take

Thomas Delaney strikes me as the embodiment of a one-club soul, even if his travels eventually took him further afield. Born in Frederiksberg in 1991, he made his name at Copenhagen with nearly 250 appearances, five Superliga titles and four cup wins before circling back home. That kind of loyalty to a club is rare and, frankly, admirable. As a defensive midfielder he's the unglamorous engine room type, the player who breaks up attacks so others can shine. I have a soft spot for that role. The fact he chipped in 24 goals tells me he wasn't purely a destroyer, and that quiet completeness is what I respect about him.
