The ex-Manchester City left-back is another player making this list due to strong similarities in playstyle with Ben Chilwell.

The 25-year-old Spanish wing-back has grown leaps and bounds in this role under Nagelsmann over the past 2 seasons and is an integral part of the Leipzig team making him a difficult player to prize away, especially mid-season.

While his numbers this season under a different setup don’t immediately stand out, his performances as a left wing-back over the last 2 seasons show him as one of the best options in that position for Chelsea — backed by a very solid 4 goals and 6 assists in 24 games in the Bundesliga last season.
