Another player that has caught everyone's attention this season is Marcus Thuram - the son of France legend, Lilian Thuram.

Thuram joined the Foals in the summer for a fee of €12m and has become a crucial member of the team. The French striker with his incredible speed, stamina, and strong build is proving to be an absolute nightmare for the opposition defenders.

The forward is in red-hot form this season and has already contributed to 16 goals, scoring 10 and creating 6. Apart from the goals, his overall contribution to the team has been excellent. The 22-year old possesses a high work rate, and makes impressive contributions defensively - winning 50% of his tackles this season, which makes him fit perfectly in Gladbach's high pressing system.

With various European giants keeping a close eye on him, it will be interesting to see what the future has in store for him.
