Left Wing: Thorgan Hazard

Thorgan Hazard lit up the Bundesliga with stunning performances for Borussia Monchengladbach in the first half of last season. And although he struggled to have a similar impact following the winter break, Hazard can prove to be a game changer for Borussia Dortmund this season.

The Belgian international is nearing his peak, and will only get better from here. He adds some much needed experience and quality to Borussia Dortmund’s wings, and can form a deadly combination with Jadon Sancho on the opposite flank.

Like Brandt, Hazard is versatile and can play anywhere behind the striker, or even as the false nine. But his best position is on the left wing, and if he can match the form and consistency from the first half of last season, Borussia Dortmund fans will be in for a treat.
