Position(s): CB, RB and in a pinch DM

Club: Borussia Mönchengladbach (on a two year loan from Chelsea)
Despite starting the season with a couple of bad games, he's bounced back under their new coach and is now playing well for Mönchengladbach, being a key figure in their central defense at only 19 years of age. His highlights have been a brilliant performance in their 3-1 win over Bayern München and his recent two goal game against Werder Bremen. His lows were two bad games against Dortmund and a thrashing at the hands of Leverkusen, and of course a few other less then stellar games throughout the season.
He's a tall, lanky defender who's good on the ball, very composed (especially considering his age) and has good passing skills. His heading game is good, but he should probably consider bulking up a bit in order to better bully opponents in the air.
His main position is CB, but used to play RB and even CDM during his youth years at Brøndby and Chelsea.
Despite his age, he has 21 u21 caps and 2 senior caps for Denmark, and he's bound to be a key figure under new coach Hareide.
Because of the Zouma injury and Terry probably leaving, there are strong rumours that Chelsea will try to recall him after this season, a year before his loan deal expires. However there is no deal in the contract letting them cut the length short, so it's up to Mönchengladbach if they will let him go early. They themselves have publicly stated that they will try to convince Chelsea to sell him to them and make his stay permanent.
Anyhow, I think this is one to look out for in the near future. I can't name many under 20 CBs looking a promising as this one.
