5. Robert Lewandowski
Robert Lewandowski, the golden boy of Poland's current generation, has rapidly established himself as one of the most potent forwards in Europe after ranking among the top three Bundesliga top-scorers in back to back seasons with two 30-plus goal hauls. The 25-year-old, whose contract is set to expire in 2014, kicked off the final year of his deal in rather sour fashion. In February 2013 he openly expressed a desire to abandon Jürgen Klopp's flourishing Dortmund outfit to join fierce rivals Bayern Munich. Amid rampant speculation that Lewandowski's commitment to the club had completely dissipated, Dortmund still insisted the Polish striker must see out the remainder of his current deal, a decision that paid glorious dividends. Now reportedly earning tripled wages compared to his original contract, the Poland international is seemingly content with life at Dortmund once more. He has hit the ground running alongside his new strike partner Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, bagging five goals in four Bundesliga matches between them a delicious pair to experiment with in FIFA 14.
