#5 Serge Gnabry
Serge Gnabry is another hot property in Europe at present. Arsenal will be kicking themselves for letting the boy leave some seasons ago. He has been at Bayern Munich for a while and he was having cameo performances every now and then.
However, this season, he appears to be staking his claim as one of the most promising superstars. The four goals he notched away against Tottenham Hotspur should make sure of that. Besides, the German cannot be overlooked when you’re counting players who could light up the Champions League this term - thanks to his brilliant performances in recent weeks.
If he can maintain the kind of performances he's been putting up in the Champions League for the past few weeks, then, the rest of the competition better start watching out for him, else, they’ll get stunned. He has 4 goals and an assist to his name from 4 appearances in the European tournament this term.
