7 youngsters who will have a breakthrough season in the Bundesliga

Leon Goretzka

Another central midfielder. Another Schalke player. Another creator. Leon Goretzka signed for the Ruhr club around three years from VfL Bochum and has been used by the club as a central defensive midfielder judiciously.

The 21-year-old had his taste of full-fledged Bundesliga season last time around where he made 34 appearances. Mainly the 'destroyer' in the team, Goretzka impresses most when he's stolen the ball and is looking for a forward pass. His ability to pick out a pass from deep in uncanny for someone in his position.

He's got the height, the strength and the legs to make it big soon enough. At Schalke, he's already one of the main players in the squad, he'll soon develop to make it his own even though they've brought in Benjamin Stambouli and Nabil Bentaleb.
