'I tend to look at for the young talent' - Cunningham makes stand-out Champions League picks

Kenny Cunningham joined us for Thursday morning's OTB AM to tell us who has impressed us so far in the Champions League.

The former Ireland international gave us his top 10 picks of players who have shone in the early stages of the competition.

Jandon Sancho - Dortmund

The England youth player has stolen the headlines in Germany this season for Borussia Dortmund - scoring six times for the Bundesliga side this season.

Achraf Hakimi - Dortmund

On loan from Real Madrid, the full back has been a key cornerstone of a youthful Dortmund back-line - ensuring his side remained unbeaten this season and top of the league.

Dan-Axel Zagadou - Dortmund

"He's been a mainstay this season," Cunningham said on Thursday's OTB AM. Physical, agile, comfortable on the ball. Unquestionably a stand out player of the tournament, says Kenny.

Paco Alcácer - Dortmund

The impact sub, Alacer has made a huge impact for Dortmund this season and has scored some key goals coming off the bench.

Virgil van Dijk - Liverpool

The rock at the heart of the Liverpool defence. Has been credited with helping transform Liverpool's back-line and moulding them into genuine title contenders.

Milan Skriniar - Inter

"He looks a little bit cumbersome when you see him play," Cunningham said. "But when you see him in person, an imposing defender. You rarely see him beaten 1v1."

Marcelo Brozović - Inter

"A ball-playing central midfield player. He's one of those I have enjoyed watching."

Maxwel Cornet - Lyon

Has caused plenty of trouble to Manchester City this season and the 22-year-old has continued to show signs of improvements this season.

Memphis Depay - Lyon

The former Manchester United winger has reinvented himself at Lyon since arriving to the French club. Scoring goals once again and making an impact for the resurgent Netherlands side.

Miralem Pjanic - Juventus

"I've been underwhelmed by him the last couple of years - particularly when he played against [Ireland] with Bosnia in the Euros play-offs... But the game at Old Trafford this year he really impressed me. He really stood up. He almost ran the show at times."
