#3 Christopher Nkunku (RB Leipzig)
Christopher Nkunku was once a Paris Saint-Germain player after graduating from their youth academy. Citing game-time issues, the Frenchman opted to leave Paris despite the team's domestic success year after year.
He joined RB Leipzig in 2019 and has been with the German club ever since. In 28 Bundesliga appearances last season, Nkunku managed to score six times and record seven assists. He has been involved in 14 goals this season from just 17 league appearances this season.
The French midfielder is only 24 and has a bright future ahead. Having contributed in 36 goals in 2021, Christopher Nkunku has deservedly attracted the attention of some top Premier League clubs.
#2 Marco Reus (Borussia Dortmund)
The German midfielder has played for a decade at Borussia Dortmund and has gained legendary status with them. Despite some of his best teammates joining other clubs in the past, Marco Reus has shown loyalty and stuck with the Black and Yellows.
Given his versatile nature, the 32-year old has played in different positions over the years. The Dortmund captain was involved in 25 goals last season and has contribued to 37 goals in 2021, proving to be an asset for the German club once again.
#1 Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
The importance of Bruno Fernandes to Manchester United cannot be understated in any sense. Ever since his arrival in 2019, the Portuguese has been an invaluable player for the Red Devils.
His incisive passing, intense work-rate, terrific vision and the skill to create and score goals time and again have often been United's saving grace. Fernandes was involved in 30 goals last season, with a contribution coming once every 103 minutes in the Premier League.
Despite not being in the best of form since the current campaign began, he has been involved in 8 goals in the Premier League this season. Fernandes has been at the top of the creativity charts in 2021 and has been involved in 37 goals this year. The Portuguese beats Marco Reus on the list considering he had more goals and plays in a comparatively tougher league.
