1. Gio Reyna

The meteoric rise of Gio Reyna has caught the attention of many. At just 17, the attacking midfielder has risen to become arguably the USMNT’s top prospect in the under-20 ranks. He joined forces with recent Borussia Dortmund signing Erling Braut Haaland to form one of the best young up and coming attacking units in the world.

Primarily used as a substitute, Reyna should get more chances to feature in the starting XI with the condensed schedule. His first goal in the Bundesliga has yet to come but that could change if he is presented the opportunity to be in the starting XI.

Additionally, with the number of substitutes increased per match, Reyna could very well play in nearly every remaining fixture for Dortmund. This is going to be a crucial time for him to show he deserves to continue to be included in the first team.
