22-year-old Bayern Munich starlet Joshua Kimmich is one of the young German talents who is capable of really dominating world football in the future. Having first showcased his abilities as a right-back under Pep Guardiola, the youngster has now firmly established him as a defensive midfielder under Carlo Ancelotti.

Often compared to Ilkay Gundogan for his style of play, Kimmich has been praised for being a well-rounded footballer capable of contributing both in defence and attack. While Kimmich has constantly been linked with a move away, Ancelotti has come out and said that his prized asset is not for sale.

With 39 appearances and 8 goals so far this season, Kimmich has proved that he can grow up to become an integral part of Bayern Munich and the German national team squad in a variety of roles.
