10 Most Underrated Footballers In The World Right Now
6. Shinji Kagawa - Dortmund
Shinji Kagawa has been underrated for a long time. Since his move to Manchester United in 2012 where he would play 38 times for the club before returning to Dortmund, the Japanese midfielder's stock has plummeted. Deemed as a failure (despite being consistently played in the wrong position) Kagawa's skilful reputation was tarnished while playing for Red Devils but his form has returned since moving back to the Bundesliga. Yet, despite being adored by the Der BVB fans the midfielder is still under-appreciated by football experts and often not mentioned when discussing Europe's finest playmakers.
