4.) Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund and Gabon)
Having already hit the ground running during his maiden Bundesliga campaign, Aubameyang is sure to feature on the back pages of sports papers throughout the season.
Shortlisted for the Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year Award last season, last campaign’s Coupe de la Ligue winner with Saint-Etienne has already won his first piece of silverware at the Signal Iduna Park, having featured in Jurgen Klopp’s side in their DFL Super Cup clash with Bayern Munich.
Although he didn’t score in that game, Aubameyang turned heads on his Bundesliga debut when he plundered a hat trick against Augsburg in a 4-0 demolition on opening day. An astute piece of business by manager Klopp, Aubameyang will add to the Dortmund attack, ensuring that Lewandowski is not solely handed the responsibility of spearheading the yellow-blacks’ attack.
The Gabonais is only 24 and with Poland international Lewandowski rumoured to leave for Bayern Munich next summer, there is always the possibility that he cannot reproduce the same form he did last season (given his apparent desire to move elsewhere) and Aubameyang could be the man to replace him.
