Niclas Eliasson

Niclas Eliasson is a midfielder for Swedish side IFK Norrkoeping. He can play all across the attacking midfield, going out as a winger on either side or playing as a number ten behind the striker. The 21-year-old  midfielder has shocked Norrkoping fans, starting off the season flying with two goals and five assists in just nine appearances.

Eliasson has a number of attributes that would do well in the MLS. His ability to play the other players in is remarkable as well as his ability to take a shot off a free kick. His composure on the ball allows him to pick out some world class passes, as you can see in the video from four years ago when he was only 17 years old. He is a multifaceted player who keeps opposing teams guessing.
