Jonathan Tah
If you regularly follow the Bundesliga, you'll know what a pain in the bottom Jonathan Tah can be. The 20-year-old defender has the composure, strength and the leadership qualities of a seasoned 30-year-old.
He's already made one of the two centre-back positions his at Leverkusen and is in no mood to make way for anyone else. Having made 45 appearances for the club last season around – and with over 4000 minutes of on-field experience – Tah is attracting interest from a host of European giants.
Yes, he's still got a lot to learn but for someone so young to make it big at a club so large, is a testament in itself to how much he's valued and how well a player he can be. The future is his and he's bound to take it on by the scuff of its neck.
