6 of the most in-demand players in the January transfer window

#1 Leon Goretzka (Schalke 04)

One of Europe's hottest prospects

Leon Goretzka is one of the most sought-after players in European football. The 22-year-old made his 100th Bundesliga appearance this season and has already played 12 times for Germany despite his young age.

Goretzka can play as a defensive midfielder, as well as a left or right winger. He is excellent in aerial battles and prolific in winning the ball back in the midfield areas. He is known for his ball control and ability to pick out accurate passes.

He is out of contract this summer and majority of the top European clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal and Barcelona are interested in the German, but it looks like Bayern Munich is close to agreeing to a deal for the midfielder. At only 22, he is certainly the future of German football.
