10 players across Europe who exceeded expectations this season

4) Kingsley Coman

Coman is on loan from Juventus

When Bayern Munich brought in Coman on a two-year loan deal last summer, many eyebrows were raised and heads were scratched as the German football contingent pondered where the Frenchman would fit into the Bavarian jigsaw.

Since then, the 19-year-old has formed a dossier of showreels, boasting top ball control and a pass accuracy of 85%, as well as having created 31 chances in the Bundesliga.

Despite having scored only four goals, the midfielder-cum-forward has established himself as a first-team regular and his combination of speed and courage in the final third could tempt Bayern to pay the option-to-buy fee of €21 million when his loan expires.
