That wonderkid goes by the name of Jamal Musiala. The 18-year-old Stuttgart native has featured for the Bundesliga champions a total of 38 times across all competitions.

Despite having star-studded and highly experienced players at his command, Hansi Flick often bestowed his trust upon this youngster. And without a doubt, it paid off.

Musiala, who also happens to be the youngest German player to feature in a major tournament expects an increased playing time under his new manager Julian Nagelsmann.


#4 Moussa Diaby (Bayer Leverkusen)

The Paris-born playmaker had a striking season last term with Bayer Leverkusen, netting four goals and providing 12 assists in the campaign. He also played a massive role in Bayer Leverkusen finishing sixth in the table.
