Adnan Januzaj (Manchester United)
The Belgium born wide man has already made quite an impact in his debut campaign at Old Trafford, with new Red Devils head coach David Moyes having given the 21-year-old a lot of game time in which to impress the staff in the north west.
And with the young winger having so far managed to register an impressive three goals and five assists in just 27 matches in all competitions for the Premier League champions, including three strikes and three assists in only 20 top-flight encounters, them imagine how effective the player will be at the Theatre of Dreams next season with a full campaign under his belt?
Raheem Sterling (Liverpool)
What a sensational campaign the young flyer is currently enjoying with the Merseyside giants, so much so that Sterling is now on course to go with England to this summer’s Fifa World Cup finals in Brazil.
The 19-year-old has managed to record an eye-catching seven goals and seven assists in his 28 games to date in all competitions, including an equally impressive six strikes and five assists in just 23 Premier League outings for the Reds under manager Brendan Rodgers’s astute coaching, with much now expected of the pacy winger at Anfield next campaign.
Marco van Ginkel (Chelsea)
The Netherlands international arrived at the west London club from Eredivisie outfit Vitesse Arnhem last July in a deal worth £8m with a huge reputation as being one of the Continent’s brightest and most sought-after young midfielders, only to then suffer a season-ending knee-ligament injury against Swindon Town in a League Cup clash last September.
However, the 21-year-old will have recovered full fitness ahead of the new campaign, and that will enable Premier League audiences the chance to see the very best of the Oranje starlet.
Joao Carlos Teixeira (Liverpool)
The exciting Portugal Under-21 international made his Premier League debut for the Reds when he came on as a late substitute in their recent 3-2 win at Fulham after spending the previous campaign out on loan with League One Brentford.
And with club captain Steven Gerrard having already lavished huge praise on the 21-year-old’s shoulders, it will be well worth keeping an eye out on the young midfielder’s progress on Merseyside next season.
Serge Gnabry (Arsenal)
The 18-year-old featured in a total of four matches in all competitions for the north London club last season, one of which came in the Premier League, while so far in this campaign the highly rated Germany U19 international has been utilised in 13 contests in total under boss Arsene Wenger, during which time the midfielder has scored one goal and created two others for his Gunners team-mates, including one strike and one assist in the top flight.
And already, even in that short space of time, the German starlet has impressed the Arsenal fans and coaching staff with his obvious skill and technique, although next season a lot more is expected of the player at the Emirates.
Mesquita Lopes (Manchester City)
Those who have watched some of City’s Capital One Cup or FA Cup clashes so far this season will have been able to run their eye over the promising Portugal U21 international, who actually made his first-team debut for the mega-rich Premier League club in an FA Cup tie in the previous campaign.
And with four more domestic cup ties behind him this season, the attacking midfielder is slowly beginning to get to grips with life in England, meaning the 18-year-old is now on course to really make the breakthrough at Eastlands next season if he carries on progressing at the same rate.
Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)
The much talked-about England U21 international has been with the north London club now since the 2010-11 campaign, although it is only in recent times that the forward has really begun to make a name for himself at White Hart Lane, with Kane having featured in 11 matches so far this season, scoring one goal in the process, four of which have come in the Premier League.
As a result, you get the feeling that the 20-year-old could be handed more first-team responsibilities in the capital next season under new Spurs head coach Tim Sherwood as opposed to continually being shipped out on loan to the likes of Leyton Orient, Millwall, Norwich City and Leicester City, as the youngster has done in the past.
Luis Alberto (Liverpool)
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers splashed out an eyebrow-raising £6.8m inn order to bring the Spain U21 international from La Liga champions FC Barcelona to Merseyside last summer, although the Northern Irishman was always planning on using this campaign as a means in which to integrate the youngster into the club’s setup.
And with 12 matches already in all competitions under the 21-year-old’s belt, nine of which have come in the Premier League, during which time the wide man has managed to register one assist for his new team, Rodgers is now expected to give Alberto more opportunities in which to shine at Anfield in the following campaign.
Ross Barkley (Everton)
What a wonderful campaign the 20-year-old has produced to date for the Toffees, on the back of which there is now a great chance that the England international will be part of Three Lions boss Roy Hodgson’s 23-man squad travelling to Brazil for this summer’s World Cup.
The 20-year-old has found the back of the net on four occasions in total, as well as registering an assist too, in his 28 matches to date in all competitions for the Merseyside giants, including an impressive three strikes in his 24 Premier League outings under new Everton head coach Roberto Martinez, so just imagine how good the attacking starlet will be in the next campaign?
Jordan Ibe (Liverpool)
The hugely promising England U19 wide man was handed his Premier League debut by Reds head coach Brendan Rodgers in the final Premier League game of the previous campaign against Queens Park Rangers at Anfield, while so far this season the 18-year-old has made a further two appearances for the Merseysiders, one of which has come in the top flight.
And with the speedy winger currently gaining valuable game time on a six-month loan deal with Championship outfit Birmingham City, expect the 18-year-old to have matured enough so as to be able to start catching the eye for the Premier League giants next season.
