9. Andros Townsend – Tottenham Hotspur
There was a time when the 22-year-old must have thought it was never going to happen for him, enduring nine loan spells with nine separate clubs will do that to you, but what it did give him was a taste of regular first team football across all divisions of the English set up.
He has since broken into both the Spurs team and the national side and looks to be a shoe in for the World Cup this summer. What’s more is he is proving that he is not just a flavour of the month by performing to a consistent standard on a regular basis.
