While Gabriel Jesus has not been a starter for Manchester City since he joined the club, he has had some fine moments under manager Pep Guardiola.

Jesus joined Manchester City from Palmeiras in 2017 for €33 million. The striker was bought to provide competition to veteran Sergio Aguero, which he has done so far. While Aguero continues to be preferred by Guardiola, the 23-year old Jesus has had a good goalscoring record for the club.

It has been rumoured that the Brazil international is unhappy with his game-time at the club, with Juventus and Inter Milan both linked with the player. Jesus has made 152 appearances in all competitions for Manchester City, scoring 68 goals.


#2 JOSHUA KIMMICH | 78.2% of all games won

The last Bayern Munich player on this list is their utility man Joshua Kimmich.

The Germany international has been an incredibly consistent player for the Bavarians since joining them. Kimmich joined Bayern Munich from RB Leipzig in 2015 for €7 million, and in hindsight the move was certainly a bargain. A midfielder during his Leipzig spell, Kimmich started playing as a right-back for Bayern Munich, where he has flourished.

The 25-year old is now regarded as one of the best at the right-back position, while manager Hansi Flick has also utilised him in midfield. Kimmich has made 220 appearances in all competitions for Bayern Munich, and looks set to enjoy a bright future with them.


#1 PRESNEL KIMPEMBE | 78.9% of all games won

The 25-year old is also a World Cup winner, having lifted the trophy while representing France in 2018. Kimpembe has made 138 appearances in all competitions for the club since 2014.
