#3 Julian Weigl
Age: 22
Club: Borussia Dortmund
Position: Midfielder
The Borussia Dortmund star is already a well-known figure in European football. The 22-year-old central midfielder has already made 110 appearances for Dortmund and made his Germany debut in 2016, but only has 5 appearances for the national team because of injuries.
Unlike other defensive midfielders, Julian Weigl is more dependent on intelligent positioning and reading of the game, rather than pace and physicality. He is excellent at passing and is remarkably calm on the ball, because of which, he has already attracted attention from top Europen clubs.
Though Joachim Löw's side is gifted in the defensive midfield area, Weigl is one player who can always offer something extra. When fit, the youngster is one of the most reliable midfielders in German football at the moment.
