Renato SanchesFC Bayern München(midfielder, 13.9m)

An explosive midfielder with the musculature of a WWE superstar and an end product resembling Portugal teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, Renato Sanches has joined Bayern with all the attributes needed to become one of the world's best players. The 19-year-old was only fit enough for a place on the bench in the 6-0 rout rout of SV Werder Bremen last time out, but will be quietly confident of at least chalking up some appearance points in Friday night's game against FC Schalke 04 at the VELTINS Arena.

Watch: Get to know Sanches and four other exciting new Bundesliga talents:

Mario GomezVfL Wolfsburg(forward, 11.9m)

In terms of value for money, look no further than Wolfsburg's Mario Gomez. The 31-year-old has proven Bundesliga pedigree and, having scored in a recent friendly win over SG Dynamo Dresden, has not lost an inch of his sharpness in front of goal following a groin injury. The former VfB Stuttgart and Bayern striker has also scored more goals (132) in his last 197 Bundesliga appearances than any other player currently on the Bundeslgia roster, including Robert Lewandowski (127 in 195 games). 1. FC Köln, you've been warned.

Watch: Mario Gomez wants to help bring the good times back to Wolfsburg:

Mario GötzeBorussia Dortmund(midfielder, 13.9m)

Mario Götze will be hoping recent wins on the international scene with world champions Germany are a sign of things to come back at boyhood club Dortmund. Despite largely being on the periphery of the first team at Bayern, the 24-year-old still managed to register 36 goals and 24 assists in 114 appearances; imagine what he could do playing regular football alongside best pals Andre Schürrle and Marco Reus.

Watch: Mario Götze on why he returned to Dortmund:

Serge GnabrySV Werder Bremen(forward, 10m)

Serge Gnabry found regular first-team opportunities at a premium at former club Arsenal FC, but he could be just what the doctor ordered for a Bremen side still without a competitive win this season. The 21-year-old finished top scorer on six goals at this summer's Olympic games and is a logical choice to start against FC Augsburg on Sunday afternoon.
