#2 Joshua Kimmich

<p>
The youngster is excelling at the German club

Joshua Kimmich is probably the best young defender in the business at the moment. The German was promoted to the first team by Pep Guardiola during a huge injury crisis at the club.

However, his performances ensured that the 23-year-old is one for the coming generations. Kimmich has been tipped to be the ideal successor to the legendary Philipp Lahm at Bayern.

He is a sensational crosser and passer of the ball. His hold up on the ball is something commendable. The defender has netted four goals and provided 17 assists in all competitions, so far.

His passing accuracy is a staggering 90% and he takes as much as three defensive actions per game in the league, where he has created 49 chances, winning 56% of the duels.

Kimmich is a gem in Bayern's line-up. He would certainly be a top name in football in coming years.
