#7 Niklas Dorsch

Niklas Dorsch has drawn comparisons to Kroos and Schweinsteiger

Age: 19

Club: Bayern Munich

Position: Defensive midfielder

Nationality: German

Another potent German to feature on the list. Niklas Dorsch rose through Bayern's youth ranks before making the cut into the first team at the Allianz. He currently represents the U19 team on the national level.

Dorsch has been turning heads since stepping into the game. His succession of impressive performances has drawn him comparisons to former Bayern legends Bastian Schweinsteiger and Toni Kroos. He looks ready to make his mark after coming out of the youth ranks in Bavaria.

Dorsch has received heaps of praise for his tactical intelligence, ability to hold the ball and precise passing. The 19-year usually plays as a deep-lying central midfielder. But, he can also operate as a winger, or a no.10 in times of need.

Looking at his versatility and bag of qualities, the German will surely be seen dictating Bayern's midfield in the years to come.
