10 Best Players in the Bundesliga Right Now [Ranked]

Let me take you on a journey through the Bundesliga, one of the most exciting and talent-packed football leagues in the world! This season has been full of surprises, and some players are stepping up in ways we never imagined. Who are the top 10 stars lighting up the German league right now? Stick around, because you won’t believe who takes the number one spot!
At number 10, we start with Leroy Sané, the winger for Bayern Munich. Now, Bayern has had some incredible wingers over the years, but there’s something about Sané’s devastating pace, dribbling, and lethal long shots that make him a nightmare for defenders. Last season, even though Bayern didn’t secure any trophies, Sané still racked up 10 goals and 13 assists across competitions. He’s the kind of player who can turn a game on its head with a moment of brilliance, and trust me, he’s only getting started this season.
Number 9 is Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund, one of the most exciting young players to watch. At just 22, Adeyemi has speed to burn and a knack for making defenders look silly. He hasn’t quite hit his full potential yet, but he’s already caught the eye of football’s biggest clubs. Could he be Bayern’s next big signing? Only time will tell, but don’t be surprised if Adeyemi’s name is up in lights very soon.
Coming in at number 8, we’ve got RB Leipzig’s rising star, Benjamin Šeško. This Slovenian forward is a pure goal machine, with 18 goals in his debut season for Leipzig. And he’s just 21! Šeško is the type of striker who can score from almost anywhere: headers, volleys, you name it. Many are already saying he could be the next big European striker, following in the footsteps of Leipzig’s alumni like Nkunku and Szoboszlai.
Now, for number 7 – Alejandro Grimaldo, Bayer Leverkusen’s defensive dynamo. This guy plays left-back, but don’t let that fool you—he’s a menace going forward. Last season, Grimaldo was a key part of Leverkusen’s incredible unbeaten run to their first-ever Bundesliga title. He scored 12 goals and assisted 20 times! Yeah, from defense! If you’re wondering how Leverkusen became champions, Grimaldo is a big part of that answer.
At number 6, we have Xavi Simons of RB Leipzig. This kid has already been around the block, from Barcelona to PSG and now dominating in the Bundesliga. Simons is just 21, but last season he had 25 goal contributions. His dribbling, his vision, his ability to unlock defenses—it’s all top-tier. When Xavi Simons gets the ball, you can feel the crowd hold their breath.
Moving on to number 5, it’s the comeback king himself, Granit Xhaka, now at Bayer Leverkusen. Xhaka’s transformation has been nothing short of remarkable. At Arsenal, he was solid but never really hit these heights. Now, in Leverkusen’s midfield, he’s one of the best holding midfielders in the world. His aggressive, no-nonsense style has been crucial to Leverkusen’s success, and yes, he has a Bundesliga title to show for it.
Number 4 is one of the most versatile players in world football – Joshua Kimmich of Bayern Munich. Whether he’s in midfield or at right-back, Kimmich controls the game. He’s not flashy, but he’s absolutely vital to Bayern’s game plan. His vision and passing? Absolutely elite. With 73 assists in his Bundesliga career, Kimmich is the guy who makes everything tick for Bayern.
Entering the top 3 now, and it’s Florian Wirtz of Bayer Leverkusen. If you haven’t heard of this 21-year-old wonderkid, it’s time to wake up. Last season, Wirtz was instrumental in Leverkusen’s title charge, with 18 goals and 20 assists. He’s one of those players who just seems to be everywhere in the attacking third, always creating chances, always dangerous. Wirtz is a superstar in the making, no doubt about it.
Now, for number 2 – Bayern Munich’s golden boy, Jamal Musiala. Chelsea let this guy slip through their fingers, and Bayern are eternally grateful. Musiala is only 21, but he’s already one of the most creative and technical playmakers in the world. Fast, strong, and so, so smart on the ball. He got 12 goals last season, and with Harry Kane up front, Musiala is ready to rack up even more assists and goals this year. It’s scary how good he already is.
Alright, drum roll, please… who takes the top spot? You guessed it: It’s Harry Kane, Bayern Munich’s newest goal-scoring machine. Kane left Tottenham to chase silverware, and while he didn’t lift a trophy in his debut season, he shattered records with 44 goals in all competitions. 40 of those came in the Bundesliga. Kane is everything you want in a striker—clinical, intelligent, and a leader on the field.
