#2 Xherdan Shaqiri

Shaqiri is a Swiss midfielder, who plays for Liverpool at the moment. He rose to prominence while playing for Bayern in the early and mid-2010s. Shaqiri is known for his ball-skills, dribbling and passing. He also is quite capable of scoring goals and can also play as the right-winger.

Shaqiri was signed by Bayern in 2012 and spent 3 seasons with them. However, he struggled to make it to Bayern’s first team on a regular basis, and warmed the bench for a considerable period of time. He scored 17 goals from 81 matches for Bayern and also won 2 Bundesliga titles and 1 Champions League with them.

He was signed by Liverpool in 2018 and has made his mark in the Premier League since then. He has made a decent contribution in Liverpool’s ongoing campaign as the Reds are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment. Shaqiri’s brace against Manchester United has been one of the highlights of the season for Liverpool so far. He has scored 6 goals from 25 matches for Liverpool till date.
