Still not yet 18 years old (his birthday is November 28), but with experience well beyond his years. Tin Jedvaj is what the French would call an "enfant prodige". This talented youth seems almost predestined. One thing is certain though; young players this good are rarely seen on the field at the professional level. His résumé shows over a dozen games played with Dinamo Zagreb’s first team as well as a goal scored against Cibalia. Just to make things clear, Jedvaj was born in 1995. In Italy, most players his age are preparing for the 2013/14 season in the Primavera league, but obviously Jedvaj is not your average player. A central defender with a strong physical presence (6’2” tall), yet blessed with the ability to elegantly dispossess his opponents. In his home country he has garnered comparisons to Paolo Maldini; it’s a lot to live up to, but this youngster is certainly not one to shy away from the challenge.
