#2 Leroy Sane
Germany have produced some of the world's best players in recent years. Thomas Muller, Marco Reus, Mesut Ozil, Mario Gotze and Ilkay Gundagon have all captured the imagination of their fans in recent tournaments and there's a new kid on the block who can surpass them all if he continues to develop the way he has in Schalke.
Leroy Sane has everything to be a success in the sport. He's got pace – an abundance of pace – dribbling and the ability to score worldly goals like the one he scored against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League last season. His directness with the ball and confidence when on it gives him the ability to take on and beat defenders with ease.
Linked with some of the biggest clubs in Europe, Sane can only go from strength to strength reminding us fans of a young Eden Hazard or Cristiano Ronaldo. Sane's inclusion in the German national team squad is just a sign of the way the German FA work giving young stars the opportunity to shine on a massive international stage.
Given his profile and performances in the Bundesliga this season, they've made the right move by giving Sane the chance. He could very well be the Mario Gotze of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
