Felix Klaus has been a revelation under head coach Andre Breitenreiter this season. The 25-year-old midfielder, largely known for his stint with relegated clubs, is finally making his mark at the top end of German football this year.

The former Freiburg man has played a key role in Hannover's impressive form so far this season. Apart from creating the second most chances in the team, Klaus has also been influential in the team's offensive work.

His pace and directness are perfectly suited to the counter-attacking philosophy of Andre Breitenreiter. Furthermore, his impressive work rate has also helped the club in terms of being compact in defensive stances.

Although Felix Klaus is involved in only four goals so far this season, he has been definitely been an instrumental figure in Hannover's success story in the Bundesliga Hinrunde.
