#3 Leroy Sané, Manchester City, age 22
Few players can be as devastating as this young winger when he is at his mercurial best. Despite Manchester City's 2 losses in their last 3 Premier League games, Sane has proven himself to be decisive so far.
In 11 Premier League appearances this season, Sane has already racked up 6 goals and 7 assists for Manchester City. In the absence of City's main playmaker in Kevin De Bruyne, Sane stepped up and has been a refreshing yet ruthless presence in the City front-line.
What's truly amazing is how he uses his pace and exquisite technique with the ball to make smart decisions in the final third. Few players his age show the maturity he is showing under Pep Guardiola, and it is still shocking how he was left out of the German national team at the last World Cup.
Leroy Sane is a treat to watch when he is on song, and is already one of the key figures in Pep Guardiola's formidable Manchester City side. Amidst a plethora of stars, Sane stands out, and has made his mark in the first half of the season.
