5 superstars who have started the Ligue 1 campaign explosively

#3 Florian Thauvin

SSC Napoli v Olympique de Marseille - UEFA Champions League — Florian Thauvin has also earned a decent start to the campaign

A highly talented winger with immense skills, amazing efficiency, and an unbelievable intelligence, Olympique Marseille superstar, Florian Thauvin has been one of the most impressive superstars in the French league so far this term.

Pushing the ball forward and launching threatening attacks, the 25-year-old has been a real nightmare to opposition defenders ever since the campaign began a few weeks ago, with his ability to dribble his way through multiple markers and penetrate into the box to either create chances for his teammates to score or send the ball into the back of the net by himself.

One of the elite attackers in the French top flight at the moment, Thauvin has bagged an incredible 3 goals and 1 assist in 4 Ligue 1 appearances this term and he is on course to have another prolific campaign in front of goal - thanks to his brilliant start to the season.
