World Soccer – August 2019

Dortmund turn up the heat


(^) TYLER ADAMS
(RB Leipzig)
The 20-year-old defensive
midfielder is already a
USA international and
combines an impressive
mixture of grit, awareness,
energy and ability.
(^) JULIAN BRANDT
(Borussia Dortmund)
The Dortmunder effectively got
themselves a half-price deal
when they made a €25m
release-clause swoop for
the Bayer Leverkusen and
Germany attacking starlet.
(^) MAXIMILIAN EGGESTEIN
(Werder Bremen)
Talented midfield all-rounder
who is at his best in a box-to-
box role but can also do a job
as an enforcer. His younger
brother, Johannes, also plays
for Bremen.
(^) KAI HAVERTZ
(Bayer Leverkusen)
Rudi Voller, the managing
director at Leverkusen,
calls the 20-year-old “the
best number 10 in Germany;
a combination of Michael
Ballack and Mesut Ozil”.
(^) LUCAS HERNANDEZ
(Bayern Munich)
After long insisting they would
never pay astronomic transfer
fees, Bayern made the mother
of all U-turns, spending €80m
on the combative Atletico
Madrid and France stopper.
