The German international is another young footballer who has taken the world by storm this year. Kimmich has set up 12 goals already this season and shows no signs of stopping any time soon.

The Bayern Munich footballer is extremely versatile and is equally comfortable in the midfield - he has appeared 11 times already in the midfield this season! But it is at the right-back position that Kimmich has been in fantastic form so far.

The German defender is a fast and skilful player, who likes dribbling and needs no invitation to run at the opposition defences. Kimmich's crossing ability is among the best in the world right now and the 24-year-old can also spot a pass. He also likes to take set pieces and is quite good at them too.

This season, the Bayern Munich right-back has been fantastic for his club and in addition to his assists, has also scored twice from 37 games in all competition. He is the best right-back in the world right now.
