The continent looks set to make another statement in the form of Salzburg striker Hwang Hee Chan. The forward has helped them grab two Austrian league titles and has been quite impressive in continental competitions.

This season, he has four goals and an assist in 16 league games and one goal and two assists in the Europa League.

He will have the weight of the country on his shoulders in Russia, but it doesn't look like it will weigh him down.
