Best Footballers in the World: 10 Best U-21 Players This Season

#5 Kai Havertz

Kai Havertz

Kai Havertz rose into prominence last time around itself. However, it is this season when his statistics are backing up his talent and the potential that this lad possesses.

The German international is an attacking midfielder, someone who likes to play either centrally or sometimes drift wider too. However, he predominantly operates from that hole behind the striker from where he controls whatever happens in the final third.

Havertz has a silky demeanor in his game, something that allows him to glide past opponents with utmost ease using his dribbling skills to perfection. He is quick and can play short passes on the run, which makes him a counter-attacking threat too.

This season, Havertz has appeared in 26 Bundesliga matches, and notched 10 goals already. He has also recorded three assists and takes 2.3 shots per game.

Havertz completes 1.3 dribbles in each match too. If the 19-year-old manages to continue these sort of performances for a longer period of time, Havertz can aim at becoming a mainstay in the senior German squad in a couple of years too.
