The rise of Julian Weigl: The Borussia Dortmund star linked to Barcelona and Man City

The 20-year-old has hit the ground running under Thomas Tuchel, becoming one of the key players for his new club just months after his arrival from 1860 Munich.

When Julian Weigl signed his contract with Borussia Dortmund early last summer, no one would have thought that he would be one of the celebrated rising stars of the Bundesliga.

But six months later, the likes of Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and most recently Manchester City have all been linked to the 20-year-old. Twenty-nine games later, he is one of the key players in the scouting reports of Thomas Tuchel's side.
