The German midfielder fled the sinking ship at Ingolstadt to join high-flying Brighton and has been one of the star men for Chris Hughton's side.
The 26-year-old's seven goals and eight assists proved pivotal in keeping his side in the English top flight and another key role awaits him next season.

The 35-year-old upset Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola when he snubbed a move to England to join Paris Saint-Germain and has shown why there was such a high demand for him despite his age.
An important figure for the French side on and off the field, he is a magnet for success and has no doubt had a key role in Neymar's quick adaptation to the capital city.

Lyon snapped up a superstar when they lured Mariano Diaz from Real Madrid. The Spaniard’s 18 goals have been vital in keeping them on track for a Champions League qualifying place as well as thrusting him into the limelight after being hidden away at Madrid for so long.

The French teenager turned Ligue 1 on its head when he swapped Monaco for Paris Saint-Germain.
The 13-goal forward has been one of his side's top performers this term to win a second straight Ligue 1 title and great things are expected in the coming years.
