Today is his 23rd birthday and he had 33 goal contributions for Frankfurt last season

Rayan Cherki, Lyon
>Man City just signed

Hugo Ekitiké, 22, Eintracht Frankfurt
>Many readers will already be familiar with Ekitiké.
>He lost Harwood-Bellis with a curved run, for his first goal, which he dinked smartly over Beadle. His second goal was particularly smart. With the ball on the right wing, he positioned himself on Egan-Riley’s blind side, on the opposite flank. With space between Egan-Riley and Harwood-Bellis, he ran into the gap and flicked it beyond Beadle — another demonstration of his instinctive feel for space and ability to get shots off close to goal.
>His third goal, another from the edge of the six-yard-box, was a tap-in, but only a fool would sniff at a player with such a smart sense of how to attack space and operate in the areas that defenders cannot cover.

Maghnes Akliouche, Monaco
>Truthfully, any of Akliouche, Enzo Millot or Lucien Agoumé could have been picked out as ones to watch in the France midfield.
