The 20-year-old winger has been on fire for the Eredivisie giants this season. In 40 games in all competitions, he scored eight goals and provided 13 assists. Predominantly right-footed, Bakayoko loves to cut in with his left foot to score and create opportunities for his teammates.

The next big thing?
