10 youngsters who can have a breakthrough season this year

Jordon Ibe could be a ready-made replacement for Raheem Sterling if the latter decides to leave the club

#2 Gianluca Gaudino

The talented teenager is the son of former German International Maurizio Gaudino

Club: FC Bayern Munich

Age: 18

Position: Midfielder

Gianluca Gaudino is a youth product of Bayern Munichs academy which has produced midfielders like Bastian Schweinsteiger and Toni Kroos in recent years.

The teenager, who is the son of former German International Maurizio Gaudino, was promoted to the first team for the 2014/15 season after impressing Pep Guardiola, and the youngster played the full 90 minutes in Bayerns German Supercup match against Borussia Dortmund. Later he made his league debut as a starter against VfL Wolfsburg, which made him the fourth youngest debutant in the clubs history and the Bavarians won the game 2-1.

The youngster made 11 appearances overall for the club last season, but 5 of them came as a substitute. Considering the progress Gaudino has made, Bayern and Pep Guardiola may give him more chances next season, but it may not be at the club as Bayern already have many quality midfielders and add to that, Hojbjerg, who is returning from loan.

Therefore, Gaudino could be sent on loan next season to another Bundesliga club, where he could make a huge impact, just like how Toni Kroos did on loan at Leverkusen and returned to his parent club.
