Top five Bundesliga youngsters who can breakthrough in 2023-24

Werder Bremen face Bayern Munich in the opening fixture

Every Bundesliga season brings forth a talented young player who captures the hearts of football fans with their breakthrough performances. As we gear up for the 2023–24 campaign, let’s shine a spotlight on five fresh-faced hopefuls who are poised to make a big impact on the German football scene.

5. Julien Duranville

Club: Borussia Dortmund; Age: 17; Position: Winger

Hailing from Belgium, Julien Duranville joined Borussia Dortmund from Anderlecht at the tender age of 16. A fast, technically strong, and creative winger, he has drawn comparisons to Dortmund’s past prodigies like Nuri Sahin, Mario Götze, Christian Pulisic, Jadon Sancho, and Jude Bellingham.

Despite being hampered by a muscle injury for most of last season, Duranville showcased his potential in his Bundesliga debut against Mainz on Matchday 34. With a full preseason and regained fitness, the Belgium U19 international is poised to take Signal Iduna Park by storm in the upcoming season.

4. Mathys Tel

Club: Bayern Munich; Age: 18; Position: Centre Forward

It’s no easy feat to break into Bayern Munich‘s star-studded lineup, but Mathys Tel proved himself worthy with glimpses of his talent during the 2022–23 season. The young Frenchman made 22 appearances, primarily as a substitute, and managed to net five goals, including one in the DFB Cup.

Tel’s explosive pace and clinical finishing have impressed head coach Thomas Tuchel, who believes he has the potential to become a top striker. With the departure of other forwards, Tel is set to continue his development at Allianz Arena and could become a key figure in Bayern’s attack.

3. Kevin Paredes

Club: Wolfsburg; Age: 20; Position: Winger

American talent Kevin Paredes took some time to adjust to life in Germany after joining Wolfsburg from DC United in January 2022. However, his quickness, agility, and attacking prowess eventually earned him the trust of head coach Niko Kovac. Paredes made 24 appearances, notching one goal and three assists in the Bundesliga. With several attacking players leaving the club, the stage is set for Paredes to secure a more prominent role in the Wolves’ squad for the 2023–24 season.

2. Nelson Weiper

Club: Mainz; Age: 18; Position: Centre Forward

Despite being a relatively unknown name, Nelson Weiper has ignited excitement within Mainz with his incredible talent. At just 17 years, six months, and 14 days old, Weiper became the club’s youngest-ever Bundesliga debutant.

He then went on to become their youngest-ever scorer, netting a goal in a 4-0 victory against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Matchday 22. With a remarkable eye for goal and an impressive scoring record, the Germany U21 international is a player to keep an eye on in the upcoming season.

1. Paxten Aaronson

Club: Eintracht Frankfurt; Age: 19; Position: Attacking Midfielder

Paxten Aaronson surprised everyone at Eintracht Frankfurt when he proved himself ready for first-team action soon after his arrival. The quick and creative American midfielder caught the attention of former head coach Oliver Glasner, earning praise for his fearless playing style and ability to pick apart defences with precision passes. With Daichi Kamada’s departure, Aaronson has an opportunity to make a bigger impact on Frankfurt’s squad and cement his place as one of the league’s emerging stars.

As the Bundesliga gears up for another thrilling season, these five youngsters are set to be the ones to watch. They embody the league’s tradition of nurturing young talent and promise to deliver breathtaking performances that will leave fans on the edge of their seats. Keep your eyes peeled for these rising stars as they embark on their journey to greatness in the 2023–24 Bundesliga campaign.
