#3 Sebastian Haller (Eintracht Frankfurt) - 8 assists

The 24-year-old Sebastian Haller has been an instrumental part of Frankfurt's successes, playing a role as the club won the DFB Pokal in his debut campaign with the club last season.

So far this season, he has scored nine goals in 13 Bundesliga matches (which is the exact amount he scored in 31 matches last term), while also contributing eight assists (double his figures from last season) from 17 Bundesliga matches to sit top of the assists charts in Germany and help Frankfurt lie 6th on the Bundesliga table.

He has represented France across all youth levels but is yet to make his senior bow, but at this rate, it would be hard to imagine Didier Deschamps overlooking him for too long, while he is also on the radar of a host of top European clubs who are monitoring his progress in Germany closely.
