#3 Julian Weigl – Borussia Dortmund

Weigl has had a brilliant first season for Borussia Dortmund

Julian Weigel is one of the surprise talents of the German Bundesliga this season. He was signed from 1860 Munich in the second division in the summer of 2015, but no one expected the player to play such a crucial role in Dortmund's midfield this season.

Despite the likes of more established stars such as Gundogan, Nuri Sahin and Moritz Leitner being present in the Dortmund team, Weigl has gone on to become an integral member of the impressive Borussia Dortmund side.

The young German reads the game very well and is effective in retaining position and starting off attacks at the centre of the pitch for Borussia Dortmund. Weigl has an incredible passing accuracy of 92% and he has even managed to get praise from Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola.

The youngster is well suited to play a passing game and is very composed in possession. Dortmund have been transformed this season to play a brand of possession and attacking football under their new coach and Weigl has been an important part of the team’s new strategy.

His impressive performances have seen him being linked with Barcelona and Manchester City with Pep Guardiola reportedly a huge admirer of the Dortmund starlet.
