Houssem Aouar is another French talent who has the promise to become one of the best midfielders in the future. The 20-year-old has been one of the finest players in the Lyon side. Aouar is a technically gifted player who loves to create chances for his teammates. The Frenchman, alongside Tanguy Ndombele, has been one of the best midfield pairings in Europe this season.

Although Manchester City has enormous creative talent at their disposal, Aouar could provide them with the spark that has been missing since the injury to Kevin de Bruyne. Aouar is a player who could very easily replace the ageing David Silva.

Houssem Aouar has already bagged 6 goals in Ligue 1 and has received three man of the match awards. He likes to play on the counter-attack too and could be used to devastating effect, with pacey players like Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling in attack.
