In every season in the footballing world, there are numerous breakout players who make their impact known across Europe and beyond.
These players usually attract several clubs in the transfer market and their transfer value grows rapidly.
We are now gradually coming to the end of the 2022-23 campaign. However, there are several players that have performed decently and this season could be termed as their break-out season.
Hence, this article will evaluate and rank the top four breakout players in Europe (2022-23).
Without further ado, let's look at them.
#4 Randal Kolo Muani (Eintracht Frankfurt)
The Frenchman was one of the fresh attackers that were called to replace some injured first-team players for France during the 2022 FIFA World Cup. His performance was surprisingly decent, specifically in the final against Argentina.
Similarly, Kolo Muani has been sensational in attack for Eintracht Frankfurt this season. The forward has netted 22 goals and registered 16 assists in 44 appearances.
His amazing display has put him on the radar of several European teams and it's most likely that he will be one of the big transfer targets this summer.
#3 Folarin Balogun (Reims)
The American forward is currently one of the hottest forwards in Europe and his attacking contributions have been significant.
Balogun has netted 21 goals and registered three assists in 37 appearances for Reims this season. He's the joint-fifth top-scorer in Ligue 1 this season with 19 goals under his belt.
Given his impressive run of form, he could be recalled by Mikel Arteta to join Arsenal's first-team squad next season.
#2 Mohammed Kudus (Ajax)
During the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, the attacking midfielder was one of Ghana's stand-out players despite their early exit from the competition.
Kudus has been remarkable for Ajax in attack. His prowess has seen him score 18 goals and register six assists in 41 appearances.
The unique thing about him is that he's energetic and his vision in the final third is impressive. If he maintains consistency, he stands a great chance of attracting offers from several European clubs this summer.
#1 Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Napoli)
The 22-year-old is likely the best breakout player in the 2022-23 campaign as his contributions have been significant for Napoli in numerous competitions.
The Georgian forward has netted 14 goals and registered 14 assists in 41 appearances this season. Similarly, he has registered the most assists in Serie A this campaign (10).
His presence in attack is one of the reasons why Luciano Spalletti's men won the Scudetto. His remarkable display this season will surely put him on the radar of several European teams this summer.
