7 youngsters who will have a breakthrough season in the Bundesliga

Julian Brandt

Now that Leroy Sane has left the Bundesliga, Julian Brandt is easily the most explosive youngster in the league. Mainly a player who thrives playing on the left wing, Brandt loves cutting in and scoring worldies – tries it every match.

The 20-year-old was incredible for Bayer Leverkusen last season scoring 10 goals and assisting a further 8 more – impressive figures for someone who is usually down the pecking order at a club as big as his but whenever he's on the pitch, is able to link up well with his teammates and attack on a non-stop basis.

I'm a little surprised no one went for Brandt this summer transfer window. Yes, Sane was an obvious choice, but Brandt is only going to get better. He's got the kind of mentality you'd want a youngster to have in your team. He goes for the kill and when down, is usually the kind of player who could instigate a comeback.

By the next few transfer windows, Brandt would definitely have moved to a bigger club or have made the position of left wing solely his at Leverkusen. He's improving drastically, and is possibly one of the best youngsters in world football.
