Adam Davies voted for Hector Bellerin
“When Arsenal had their multi-annual injury crisis last October, Arsene Wenger was forced to throw Spanish defender Bellerin in at the deep end. He had a dreadful game against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League on his debut, but his improvement since has been pretty remarkable. Bellerin has looked vastly superior to the season’s initial rookie defender Calum Chambers at right back (though the Englishman is more likely to become a central defender), and the 20-year-old’s progress has been such that there are calls from Gunners fans for him to start the FA Cup final ahead of the more experienced Mathieu Debuchy. Harry Kane’s been excellent of course, but I’m going for Bellerin because he hadn’t played in the Premier League before this season. Kane showed signs of his scoring form towards the back end of the last campaign, but Bellerin has come from nowhere.”
Ed Dove voted for Harry Kane
“Late goals, important goals, all kinds of goals – exploded onto the scene, gave hope when there was none at White Hart Lane, papered over more cracks than an interior decorator and was rewarded with a superb England debut.”
Katie Kapusta voted for Harry Kane
“He was in the running for the FWA Footballer of the Year and is still so young and has so much potential and room to improve. Twenty Prem goals in 100 shots – that is pretty good!”
Tashan Deniran-Alleyne voted for Harry Kane
“The Tottenham forward has done fantastically since breaking into the team in November. To score 20 goals in such a short space of time is a great achievement.”
Steve Green voted for Jack Grealish
“He may have only just broke though into the Villa side, but he tore into Liverpool during the FA Cup semi final and has already been targeted by opposition defenders as a man to mark closely. Seemingly able to roll past players as though they aren’t there, his ability on the ball is second to none and he is already at the centre of a tug of war between England and Ireland
