Alleskönner is the German expression to describe a footballer with contribution to both ends of the field; a player that has the ability to do almost everything with and off the ball. Kai Havertz, who is touted as the next Michael Ballack, plays as an attacking midfielder for Bayer Leverkusen and is a bright example of the above mentioned term.
