Top 5 performing free transfers of the football season so far

#3 Javairo Dilrosun (Man City – Hertha Berlin)

Javairo Dilrosun

The 20-year-old Dutch winger made waves across Europe for his exploits with the never ending supply of talents which is the Ajax academy, and on account of his performances, and was highly coveted by a number of major European sides.

Dilrosun had his choice of picks, but eventually settled with Manchester City, transferring to the blue half of Manchester in 2014. The array of talents on display at The Etihad however meant that breaking into the first team was always going to be a step too far for Dilrosun, so it came as no surprise when Hertha Berlin snapped him up at the expiration of his contract with The Cityzens.

He made his Bundesliga debut early in September when he came on as a substitute for HSC following an injury to Ondrej Duda, and he registered his first assist for the club less than 9 minutes later in a 2-0 win for his club.

He opened his goal-scoring account a fortnight later against Wolfsburg, and since then he has become a mainstay in the first team, making 10 Bundesliga appearances, scoring 2 goals, and contributing 3 assists to help Hertha to 8th place on the Bundesliga standing.

His form has caught the eye of Dutch coach Ronald Koeman who handed him his senior international debut in the just concluded Nations League fixture against Germany, although his appearance was cut short by injury.
