Dani Olmo is one of the most mature youngsters in the football world.

Olmo spent five years with Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia before signing for RB Leipzig in 2020. His arrival in Germany has been met with great appreciation, as Olmo has impressed consistently with his performances.

Olmo has already made 18 appearances for the Spanish national team and was especially impressive during UEFA Euro 2020 last year. However, he has struggled with injuries this season and has made only 11 league appearances.

He has scored 15 goals and made 18 assists in 78 appearances in all competitions for Leipzig so far.

Isak is well-known for his relentless attacking and intelligent link-up play. He is an excellent finisher and first burst onto the scene last year. He scored 17 goals in 34 league appearances last season, turning several heads.

With the transfer window set to open in about three months, it looks increasingly certain that Isak will sign for a bigger club this summer.
