Emil Forsberg: RB Leipzig

9 assists

6 goals

2.5 key passes per game

If you’re thinking.. who? Then don’t feel bad, as I had a similar reaction. While admittedly,  I don’t watch much Bundesliga football, I’m surprised by this stat.

The 25-year-old Swedish midfielder has had a pretty good season according to statistics. He’s the second highest rated player overall on whoscored at 7.60. He should really be top as the player above him,  Thiago Alcantara, has only 3 goals and 3 assists.

RB Leipzig have surprisingly had a very good season so far. They are currently second and only five points behind Bayern Munich. So it makes sense that one of their players tops this chart.

Forsberg can play either on the left wing or the right and by the looks of things he will likely be approached by some big clubs this summer. Remember this name.
