🐣 Young talent of the week: Assan Ouédraogo 🇩🇪 | OneFootball

Like every week, OneFootball highlights a young talent on the rise. This time, it's an emerging star from the Bundesliga that has caught our attention.

At just 19 years old, Assan Ouédraogo is establishing himself as one of the brightest prospects in the Bundesliga. A central midfielder for Leipzig, this German talent trained at Schalke 04 combines technique, power, and game intelligence, making him already an essential part of his team.

Today, the firm Transfermarkt values him at nearly 30 million euros.

Having arrived at Leipzig in 2024, Ouédraogo was initially held back by a few injuries, but he quickly adapted and gained the trust of coach Ole Werner.

Since the start of the season, he has established himself as a modern box-to-box midfielder, capable of dictating the pace, recovering balls in key areas, and posing a threat in front of the goal.

What sets Ouédraogo apart is his versatility and game volume. Tall (1.91 m), he asserts his presence in duels while remaining technically elegant. His sense of timing and ability to move forward make him particularly dangerous in fast transitions.

Called up for the first time to the German national team last November, he quickly made an impression. During his first minutes with the Mannschaft, he found the back of the net against Slovakia. A debut that confirmed the full potential of this complete midfielder.

At just 19 years old, Ouédraogo is no longer just a hopeful: he is already a talent capable of influencing matches at the highest level.
