Top 10 Breakthrough Players in the Season, Raul Asensio, Marmush, and Lewis Skelly are on the list

Every year, new stars emerge and grab the spotlight with their performance - the 2024/25 season is no exception. We have witnessed the rise of previously unknown players (such as Raul Asensio or Lewis Skelly), and also seen faces that have finally exploded for many years (such as Marmush, who played in the Bundesliga as early as the 2019/20 season but has only reached its peak this season).

We have compiled the rankings of the top ten breakthrough stars in the 2024/25 season. Please tell us in the comment section whether you agree with this ranking and who will you join or replace?

No. 10 - Ohan Sanchett (Athletic Bilbao)

The most popular Bilbao is usually Nico Williams, but now he has a competitor. Sanchett has been regarded as a potential new star for many years, but has never been truly paid attention to by the wealthy families. Under Valverde, Sanchet transformed into an attacking midfielder (the real No. 10 position), frequently inserting into the opponent's penalty area. This tactical change made him shine and may eventually receive the attention he deserves.

17 goals and 3 assists in each match, including a hat trick against Girona. Although he has long demonstrated his offensive talent, this game completely overturned people's perception of him. He is closely watched by giants such as Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United. If Bilbao locks in a Champions League place and Sansett is selected for the Spanish national team, the possibility of transferring to the giants will increase greatly.

Player Value: 60 million euros

No. 9 - Nico O'Reilly (Manchester City)

The midfielder performed well in Manchester City youth team and won the Youth Premier League championship. He gradually entered the first team last season, but it didn't really shine until this season. The injury wave + Guardiola's tactical experiment gave O'Reilly the opportunity. He has scored 2 goals in the Premier League in just a few months, and has contributed passes as a leader in the FA Cup (such as a brace against Plymouth and an assist against Bournemouth).

He is competent for midfield, left back, back midfield and even central defender. Guardiola praised his football IQ, vision, technology and decision-making ability, and believed that he was one of the most promising new stars in Europe.

Player value: 7 million euros

No. 8 - Archie Gray (Tottenham)

Tottenham signed the talented defender from Leeds United for 41.25 million euros, and he handed in a solid first season answer: 43 games (including 10 Europa Leagues), and stood up many times due to the team's injury wave. It can play as a defender, midfielder and even striker. Judging from the current transfer market standards, Tottenham's investment has great potential in the future.

Player value: 35 million euros

No. 7 - Patrick Dogu (Leche/Manchester United)

This North Zealand youth training product has made its mark in Leche (2 goals and 1 assist in 34 games), and has gradually gained a foothold after transferring to Manchester United in the winter window. If it weren't for Ipswich's straight red, he might have had more time in the Premier League. The UEFA Cup has contributed assists against Real Sociedad, and coach Amorim praised his ability to double-sided back.

Player value: 25 million euros

No. 6 - Ethan Nvanelli (Arsenal)

Envanelli, who made her debut in 2022, has only recently achieved a stable appearance. Arteta uses him as an alternative to Saka, and the midfielder lives up to expectations: 9 goals and 2 assists in 36 games (including 2 goals in the Champions League), and often performs well in unfamiliar wing forward positions. Despite the fierce competition among the Gunners, he is destined to be the core and even the main force of the future rotation.

Player value: 55 million euros

No. 5 - Omar Marmush (Frankfurt/Manchester City)

Marmush, who has been to Wolfburg, St. Pauli and Stuttgart, did not usher in a qualitative change until he joined Frankfurt freely: 17 goals and 6 assists in the 23/24 season attracted attention, and directly participated in 34 goals (20 goals and 14 assists) in the first half of this season. After transferring to Manchester City for 75 million euros in the winter window, he proved his value with a hat trick against Newcastle.

Player value: 75 million euros

No. 4 - Dean Heisen (Bornemouth)

From Rome and Juventus to Premier League star + Spanish international, Heisen has transformed into one of the most sought-after defenders in Europe under the coaching of Ilaura. Confident position, accurate long and short passes, excellent game reading and tough confrontation have made him a hot spot in the transfer market. Real Madrid, Tottenham and Chelsea all want it.

Player value: 42 million euros

No. 3 - Mark Cassado (Barcelona)

Barcelona has been looking for a midfielder to control the field. Cassado (rather than Romeu) successfully took the lead this season, showing the characteristics of modern midfielders: precise ball stroke sorting, spatial insight, offense and defense connection. The shot of the National Derby assisting Real Madrid in Lewandowski proves his calmness in the big scene. If it weren't for a ligament injury, his virgin season would be more perfect.

Player value: 30 million euros

No. 2 - Lewis Skelly (Arsenal)

Due to injury of Calfiori + Zinchenko/Tilney, the young player seized the opportunity to sit firmly on the main force of the left gate. The Premier League scored against Manchester City + the England national team's debut, proving its defensive hardness and knife-bearing attributes. He has transformed from a wing forward to a full-back, and has both defensive strangling ability and speed skills.

Player value: 28 million euros

No. 1 - Raul Asensio (Real Madrid)

Last season was full of challenges for Ancelotti: despite winning La Liga + Champions League, the central defender once allowed Carvajal to play a guest appearance as a central defender. Now, Asensio, who jumped from the Spanish third league to Real Madrid, is the answer. Calm defense, confident confrontation, and accurate pass (Assisted Mbappe against Manchester City in the Champions League quarterfinals). The value soared from 300,000 euros to 30 million, and the Spanish national team's debut is just around the corner.

Player value: 30 million euros
