5 players to keep an eye on in the Bundesliga Rückrunde

#4 Abdou Diallo (FSV Mainz 05)

Mainz's defensive stalwart Abdou Diallo could make a lasting impression in the Bundesliga this season

If you are an avid Bundesliga fan, then this name would be fairly familiar to by now. But either way, Abdou Diallo is a name which might be on the lips of every Arsenal fan next season as Sven Mislintat, the latest scouting recruit for the Gunners, strongly recommends the Mainz defender.

And we couldn't agree with him more!

Abdou Diallo has been excellent this season, to say the least.

Diallo had a kicker average rating of 3, which puts him in the top 15 outfield player so far this season! The French recruit of FSV Mainz last summer has helped the club stay somewhat afloat in the Bundesliga table and has also earned himself a place in Abel Meszaros' stunning third team of Bundesliga TOTS for the Hinrunde.

As Mainz prepare themselves for another relegation scrap this season, Diallo's presence in the defensive backline will become even more important.

If he can keep up his good form until the end of this season, then a move to the Premier League is almost inevitable for the 21-year-old. He is definitely someone worth looking forward to, in the Bundesliga Rückrunde, even more so for the Arsenal fans.
