My Take
Ridle Baku is one of those German players I always find fascinating to watch because his versatility is genuinely rare. A right-back who can also operate as a winger or in midfield, he's the kind of footballer modern managers love for the tactical flexibility he brings. Coming up through Mainz before earning his move and breaking into the senior Germany squad, his rise felt earned rather than hyped. Born in 1998, he's still in what should be his prime, and I'm curious to see whether he settles into one defined role or keeps thriving as a do-everything option across the pitch.
