#1 Julian Brandt (Germany)

If Brazil is the home of naturally-gifted superstars, then Germany is the production line where raw talents are regimentally streamlined toward greatness on a habitual basis – Julian Brandt is the most recent example of this.
On the books at Bayer Leverkusen, 21-year-old Brandt is busying away under the radar, attempting to keep his head down, earn regular minutes and quietly sneak his way into the senior national team's starting XI.
Brandt has already impressed quite a few and has turned many heads throughout his short career to date. And the Confederations Cup could very well be the moment he has been waiting for to announce himself properly to the world and earn him the plaudits he has been building towards for the past few years.
Having come through the underage Die Mannschaft ranks, Brandt has been on course to become a senior star for some time now, plus big teams like Tottenham Hotspur are being linked with his services this summer.
Although he has stated his desire to stay with Leverkusen with a view to earning his spot at Russia 2018, a stellar series of performances over the next few weeks might just be enough to tempt Spurs or another cash-rich club to produce a big-money offer too good to refuse.
Your move, Julian.
