7 youngsters who will have a breakthrough season in the Bundesliga

The Bundesliga seems to be the latest big market in Europe. Their academies are all bearing fruit at the same time and are producing some of the most sought-after talents in the world. Their discipline along with the solid foundation they're all drilled with are the exact kind of qualities most of the 'top' teams are looking for these days. 

We've seen the likes of Mario Gotze, Thomas Muller, Mesut Ozil and more succeed in their teams this past couple of years but who are the ones who can emulate their seniors and take the footballing world by its horns? Here are seven youngsters from the Bundesliga who are expected to have an incredible season – in no particular order – and possibly stamp their authority in their respective teams. 

Joshua Kimmich

"He will be one of the best German footballers of the next decade," said Pep Guardiola, the German's former manager at Bayern Munich. Ever since his €8.5 million move from RB Leipzig to Bayern Munich, Joshua Kimmich has gone from strength to strength. 

A central midfielder by trade, Kimmich, is well ahead of most of the player in his age bracket. His understanding of the game is exceptional and seems to have fit right into the Bayern squad regularly breaking up play by the opposition and finding the right pass forward. A joy for the attacking talents Carlo Ancelotti has. 

Kimmich is only 21 and in time will become a mainstay at both Bayern and the German national team and having already made four appearances for the German club this season, is en route to achieving said goals.
