Yoshinori MUTO – Tokyo/Japan/15/07/1992
Goalscoring midfielder who is one of the brightest prospects in the J.League and has now established himself in the Japanese national side.
Radja NAINGGOLAN – Roma/Belgium/04/05/1988
Usually the first over the barricades and the last man standing, Roma’s all-action midfield warrior Radja Nainggolan has never been one to go about his business unobtrusively. Seeking the shadows or hoping for a quiet life is just not his way.
NALDO – Wolfsburg/Brazil10/09/1982
Giant centre-back who has been a towering figure in Wolfsburg’s recent progress in the Bundesliga and their push for Champions League football.
NANI – Sporting/Portugal/17/11/1986
Proof of how a step backwards can boost a career. Superb since returning to his first club on loan from Manchester United.
Samir NASRI – Manchester City/France/26/06/1987
Frozen out by France and has drifted in and out at City this season. But his talent (and ego) will see him return at some stage.
Jesus NAVAS – Manchester City/Spain/21/11/1985
The right-winger has dropped out of contention for the Spanish national team but remains a key figure for City.
Firmin NDOMBE MUBELE – Vita/DR Congo/17/04/1992
CAF’s current Africa-based player of the year. A move to North Africa or Francophone Europe is on the cards for the quick striker.
Manuel NEUER – Bayern/Germany27/03/1986
Outstanding, dominant figure for club and country. Sweeper-keeper with brilliant reflexes and shot-stopping skills.
NEYMAR – Barcelona/Brazil/05/02/1992
Has already made 300 appearances for Santos and Barcelona. Named Brazil captain by Dunga after the 2014 World Cup humiliation.
Saul NIGUEZ – Atletico Madrid/Spain/21/11/1994
Under-21 midfielder who has impressed deputising for Koke at Atletico this season after returning from a loan at Rayo Vallecano.
