Players to Watch:

Hugo Ekitike (Eintracht Frankfurt)

French forward Hugo Ekitike is among goals in the Bundesliga. The 22 year old has scored 13 goals in the Bundesliga this season and also made three assists.

Ekitike also played for PSG for two years, surprisingly he was not even properly utilized in the 2023-24 season. The young star merely played a match for the French juggernauts that year and pretty much spent the season on the sidelines. In spite of those initial hurdles Hugo has now really established himself as a rising star in the horizon and his firepower is on full display for the world to see.

Benedict Hollerbach (Union Berlin)

Benedict Hollerbach has been a regular in the Union Berlin lineup appearing in almost all their matches. Hollerbach has scored six goals in his 24 appearances for the club this year.

Moreover he also holds the record for most shots on target for his club (50). The 23 year old is also the most active runner on the pitch with a total of 693 sprints to his name. A record that makes him the fifth strongest runner in the Bundesliga.
