Top5 - Number 3: Julian Draxler (Schalke)

Who: Julian Draxler is going to be a huge name in football in the coming years, have no doubt about that. The 19-year-old midfielder is finally proving himself in the first team of Schalke after progressing through the youth teams. The German has 16 appearances so far this season and although 6 of those were as a substitute, he has created 48 opportunities for his teammates, had 25 efforts himself and  scored 2 cracking goals.

Where: I am not exaggerating when I say Draxler could have the pick of midfield in the Premier League. Perhaps not just yet, but at the end of the season if he continues at the rate he is flourishing at the moment then you can be sure that there will be more than just Arsene Wenger (who was linked with him before) looking at the youngster.

Why: A skillful individual with bags of determination, an eye for goal and with already 3 caps for the ever-blossoming German national side. Whether he is driving towards goal with the ball at his feet, or playing wide and whipping delicious crosses into the box, Draxler is going to be one of the best.
