4) Kevin Volland (Hoffenheim)
Another superb young talent who is starting to be eased into the national set-up at senior level is Hoffenheim forward Kevin Volland. The 21-year-old is a highly exciting talent, notching up 11 goals and four assists in the Bundesliga this season in some eye-catching displays for his club. Volland has one cap to his name and was part of Germany’s preliminary 30-man squad for the World Cup before just missing out on the final 23. While his slight build might prevent him from succeeding in the notoriously physical Premier League, his vision and technique are both excellent, and it’s already clear that the German national side has another impressive attacking player on their hands.
