Takefusa Kubo (Real Sociedad)

The Japanese international is one of the most influential players for Real Sociedad. He is a versatile forward who can operate both as a winger and an attacking midfielder and is known for his pace and technical abilities. Kubo is Sociedad’s highest goal scorer this season with two strikes to his name, including a goal in the last game.

Julian Alvarez (Atlético Madrid)

The Argentine striker has turned out to be a decent signing for Atletico. His decision making abilities coupled with his extraordinary attacking attributes have made him a perfect fit for the LaLiga giants. Alvarez has found the back of the net twice for his new club and has put in some important impact performances up front.
