#2. Tanguy Ndombele (Lyon)

Tanguy Ndombele has courted an enormous amount of attention over the past couple of seasons. And his scintillating performances, especially this term, explain why.
Having played on loan at Lyon last term, he made his transfer permanent in 2018. Since the start of the 2018-19 season, the Frenchman has appeared 25 times in the Ligue 1 and garnered 6 assists on the way. In addition, he has completed 56.8 passes per game at an astonishing accuracy rate of 89.2%.
An imposing figure in the centre of the park, Ndombele has been a tough proposition to tackle in midfield. The Frenchman averages 2 tackles per game and is difficult to get past.
Moreover, his box-to box abilities have come to the fore recently with his lung-bursting runs a prominent feature of his game-play.
A strong runner with the ball, the Frenchman seems to possess the required tools to transform into one of the ace midfielders on the planet.
Thus, it comes as no surprise that he takes the runner up spot on our list.
