Almugera Kabar

Key strength: Aerial dominance

Defensive anchor

In a Borussia Dortmund side sitting second in the table with mixed recent form, 19-year-old left-back Almugera Kabar is quietly emerging as one of the season's breakout stories. The German teenager has already racked up 11 appearances totaling 960 minutes—remarkable consistency for a player of his age in a title-chasing side. What truly stands out are his 4 goals from the defensive left flank, an unusually prolific return for a player whose playing style is defined by overlapping runs and recovery pace. With a market value of €3m that will surely surge if he continues this trajectory, Kabar is outshining some of his more celebrated teammates, including €80m-rated midfielders Felix Nmecha and Carney Chukwuemeka. Operating as a modern full-back who contributes significantly to attacks while maintaining defensive discipline (zero cards in 11 games), Kabar represents Dortmund's commitment to blending youth development with immediate first-team impact. With Serhou Guirassy leading the line up front, Kabar's overlapping threat from the left adds a crucial dimension to Dortmund's attacking play as they push to close the gap at the top.
