Kevin Grosskreutz is undoubtedly one of the most versatile players in world football at the moment. The German’s versatility was first noticed when Jurgen Klopp was forced to play him in a number of different positions due to injuries in the 2012/13 season.

This season alone, the 2014 World Cup winner has played as a right-back, left winger, right winger and left midfielder for Bundesliga second division side Darmstadt. Having made 233 appearances for Borussia Dortmund earlier in his career, form, fitness and attitude concerns soon saw him fall off the radar and languish in the so-called 'smaller' clubs.

The versatile German was once considered to be the future of Borussia Dortmund but with the 29-year-old currently at Darmstadt, time is running out for Grosskreutz to fulfil his immense potential and rediscover the form which made him an integral part of Jurgen Klopp's impressive Dortmund side.
