Kenny Tete

With six full caps for the Netherlands at only 21, Kenny Tete has already had his fair share of high profile suitors. Tete was linked with Manchester United and Juventus last summer, and his contract now only has a year left to run.

The young Ajax right back is gradually developing his attacking game, but is already strong in his tackle, good at reading the game and comfortable on the ball. He can also play all across the back line despite his relatively short stature (he’s 5’9”).

Tete is part of a promising Ajax side that made it to the final of the Europa League last season. Although he didn’t appear in the final, he was a part of the 4-1 semi final second leg win over Lyon that saw them overturn a 3-1 deficit.
