Top 10 Players From The 2015 U21 European Championships
8. Amin Younes
Possibly over-shadowed by the bigger names of Marc-Andre ter Stegan, Emre Can, Max Meyer and Kevin Volland, Amin Younes quietly went about his business. The talented midfielder showed flashes of world-class ability as he cleverly moved into free pockets of space and supplied good service for the two strikers - similar to David Silva's style of play. The 21-year-old who plays for Borussia Monchengladback spent last season on loan at Kaiserslautern in Bundesliga 2. He will be hoping to earn a place in the Die Fohlen first team next season. With similarities to Mario Gotze, Marco Reus and Julian Draxler, Younes will hope to follow in their footsteps and put himself in contention for the senior tournament next summer. Germanys campaign may have ended in disappointing style, but Younes showed their player development is still an extremely strong force.
