Mahmoud Dahoud was snapped up by the Gladbach academy when he was 14 from Fortuna Dusseldorf in 2010. The Gladbach academy is renowned for churning out top players on a regular basis with a recent example being goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen who is currently one of the best in his role at Barcelona.

Dahoud rose through the ranks quickly, playing a starring role for the U17s in the 2012/13 season where he registered seven goals and nine assists in 23 appearances. The cherry on the cake for him was a superb goal and assist against Dortmund. He moved up to the U19s before then Gladbach manager Lucien Favre promoted him to the first-team at the start of the 2015/16 season.
