#1 Maximilian Arnold – Wolfsburg
Regarded as one of the best young players in Germany when he broke through the ranks of Wolfsburg, the 23-year-old midfield struggled last season, much like his team. Indeed, so poor he was, he fell out of favour towards the end of the campaign and spent a good deal of time among the substitutes.
The central midfielder, though, is surely too talented to endure such a lull of form for such a period and it would be surprising if there was not interest in him this summer, when his price is likely to be at an all-time low.
In 2015-16, he showed what he can bring to the table, impressing against both Manchester United and Real Madrid during his side’s Champions League campaign. It may take a move to allow him to regain that standard.
