#5 Joshua Kimmich
Trending
A move to Bayern Munich, notwithstanding its glamour, can prove to be fatal to the careers of players as the riches of the club ensures that even the best have to prove their worth to the manager to establish themselves as a regular at the club and just reputation will not do. Joshua Kimmich, who moved to Bayern Munich from RB Leipzig at the beginning of the last season, must have had similar thoughts before his move.
However, the German international has grabbed the opportunities that have come his way and has not established himself as a regular at the club level but also for the German national team.
The versatile player, who can play across the midfield and also can fill in the full-back role when needed was personally scouted by former manager Pep Guardiola and has proven to be one of the best pieces of business done by the former Barcelona man despite being at the club only for just over a year now.
Kimmich is tidy with the ball at his feet, finding the desired teammate at a regular frequency while also ensuring that he is not easily dispossessed by the opposition. He continually probes the opposition with his runs on the ball into the final third and combines his pace and acceleration with dribbling ability to beat the opposition and get into advanced positions on the pitch.
He is also always willing to do the dirty work in the middle of the park; consistently tackling the opposition, intercepting their passes and recovering the ball from the opposition to help his side gain the dominance in the middle of the park. And these all-round abilities have made him a regular at the Allianz Arena this season.
