2. João Palhinha

Stats-13 appearances

Bayern’s long-time cry for a defensive midfielder was finally answered this summer when João Palhinha arrived at the club from Premier League side Fulham. The Portuguese had to wait for a while to get regular playing time but once the opportunity arrived he performed brilliantly.

The 29-year-old is expected to be back from injury in January, and the club can once again count on him to battle hard at winning duels and protect the backline. For a fee of €50m, it’s a sound signing as the player fills a very important and desperately needed profile in Bayern’s squad.
