Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, 19, Arsenal
‘The Ox’ as he is known has bulit on the impressive reputation he made for himself at Southampton by fast becoming a fan favourite at Arsenal.
However, he still hasn’t established himself in the Gunners first team despite showing signs that he is more than capable of doing so. He injects a directness to Wenger’s style and though he is built like an ox, he’s as quick as a leopard. Not one afraid of a long range shot, Arsenal look more dangerous when he is in the side. He has already won the trust of England boss, Roy Hodgson, and has quickly gone on to make nine appearances for the national team.
Philippe Coutinho, 20, Liverpool
The Brazilian was highly sought after in January, but opted to join the Reds as his chances at Inter Milan were limited.
A renowned dribbler, the creative attacking midfielder arrived in Italy to much hype, or rather to too much hype. With all those heavy expectations on his shoulders he wasn’t able to express himself the way he likes to, which was shown on a short and successful loan spell with Espanyol last season. He’s already settling in well at Liverpool and has to potential to become a much more potent threat next season.
