#3 Leon Goretzka
If there is one problem the German football team has never faced, it is the absence of world class midfielders. And Leon Goretzka is on his way continue this age old tradition.
Titled by his former coach at Vfl Bochum as the ‘Talent of the Century’, his ball control and passing are highly praise-worthy. Adding up his affinity to hit powerful shots from outside the penalty box and aerial prowess aided by his tall frame, Goretzka could well end up being the perfect midfielder.
A disappointing finish in the Bundesliga and interests showed by English giants Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspurs could mean Goretzka is very likely to part ways with Schalke. And any of these clubs could provide him with the much-needed exposure that could turn him from a potential star into one that hogs the limelight in the years to come.
History proves the fact that whenever Germany has won the World Cup, there has been a midfielder pivotal to it. Be it Fritz Walter in 1954, Wolfgang Overath in 1974, Lothar Matthaus in 1990 or Toni Kroos in 2014. Could Goretzka be joining this illustrious list in 2018? Maybe his performance at the Confed Cup could help us answer this question.
