Key strength: Vision and passing
Creative playmaker
At just 18 years old, Viggo Gebel is proving why RB Leipzig's academy remains one of Germany's finest talent factories. While Leipzig navigate a challenging season sitting 6th in the Bundesliga with inconsistent form (WLDWL), the German attacking midfielder has emerged as a beacon of hope—delivering 3 goals from 10 appearances despite competing with established stars like Christoph Baumgartner and Rômulo for minutes. With nearly 800 minutes of senior football already logged, Gebel is no mere prospect collecting cameo appearances. Operating as a creative playmaker, his 70-rated vision and passing range have become genuine assets in Marco Rose's attacking rotations. In a squad featuring talents like Antonio Nusa and Yan Diomande, the teenager's composure in front of goal suggests he's already transcending his €350,000 market value. As Leipzig fight to reclaim Champions League qualification, Gebel represents both their present utility and future promise—a homegrown gem cutting through the pressure of top-flight football with the confidence of a seasoned veteran.
