Finn Jeltsch 

Finn Jeltsch, the youthful centre-back plying his trade at VfB Stuttgart, is rapidly emerging as a standout figure in the Bundesliga. At just 18, his defensive acumen belies his tender years, with his ability in one-on-one duels being particularly impressive—it's rare to see an attacker get the better of him. Jeltsch exhibits a remarkable knack for recovering possession, showcasing maturity and composure that's often reserved for seasoned veterans. His ball retention is another feather in his cap, rarely squandering possession under pressure. While his defensive metrics are outstanding, Jeltsch's progressive passing and carrying hint at a player who's not just content with traditional defensive duties but is also comfortable contributing to the build-up play. Though his attacking output isn't a primary focus, his occasional forays forward illustrate potential for growth. As scout reports suggest, Jeltsch is a player whose star is clearly on the rise, and with further refinement, he could well become a linchpin in Stuttgart's defence for years to come.
