The Germany playmaker is emerging as a primary target for Arne Slot as the Premier League champions already begin planning for next season.

It was also fitting that a playmaker that has created such artistry on the grass canvass has had a huge mural painted of him in Manchester's Northern Quarter.

The Galaxy have also missed Puig, their midfield playmaker and assists leader, who hasn’t played since tearing his ACL in last November’s conference championship game.

Four of the team’s first six picks were devoted to skill positions to surround quarterback Justin Herbert with playmakers.

Fly-half Holly Aitchison guided England to victory that day and was in pole position to retain the 10 shirt this campaign, but Mitchell has instead split the workload between his three playmakers.
