The Norwegian’s co-ordination with the midfielders and the forward line will be crucial. Playing alongside some experienced pros will definitely help him to grow as a player. Erling Haaland has scored 9 goals in 8 games this Bundesliga season and has contributed with 1 assist.

3. Axel Witsel

The midfielder has loads of experience of playing alongside some heavyweights of European football. The Belgian has been a vital cog in Dortmund’s campaign as the midfielder is capable of circulating the ball with his innovative moves and steady passing.

The 31-year-old made a switchover to the Bundesliga 2 seasons back season after playing for the Chinese club Tianjin Quanjian.
