10 promising young talents in the Premier League
A competition of spectacle and talent, the Premier League is brimming with high-potential young players ready to explode on the world’s biggest stage. Here’s an overview of the nuggets that are likely to make a splash this season.
10. Grady Diangana (22 years old) – West Bromwich
After a very good season on loan in the Championship, West Bromwich didn’t hesitate to take out the checkbook to keep Diangana.
The young left winger had scored 8 goals and delivered 7 assists in the second division. Very good dribbler, the 22 year old striker will now try to conquer the Premier League.
9. Japhet Tanganga (21) – Tottenham Hotspur
With six matches played last season, Tanganga made its appearance in José Mourinho’s group. This season, the young central defender has the opportunity to confirm. In a position that is not the busiest in the Spurs, the English U-21 international will have opportunities to show off. The Portuguese coach trusts him and his versatility is another argument in his favour. He will be one of the players to watch at Tottenham.
8. Niels Nkounkou (19) – Everton

It is one of the good picks of this summer. By snatching the young left-back from l’OM, Everton is offering himself one of the greatest French hopes in his position. Very good in his first appearance in the Toffees cup jersey, Niels Nkounkou will be part of Carlo Ancelotti’s rotation this season. If he will have difficulties to take the place of Lucas Digne, he will allow the French international to breathe his last breath.
7. Eberechi Eze (22 years old) – Crystal Palace
This is one of the revelations of last season. Best player for Queens Park Rangers, the young English attacking midfielder has committed himself to Crystal Palace in the off-season. Endowed with an impressive vision of the game and a big physical chest, Eberechi Eze has all the qualities to become the Eagles’ playing master. Alongside Michy Batshuayi and Wilfried Zaha, Palace’s attack will be attractive this season.
6. Sander Berge (22) – Sheffield United
After six months of adaptation, it is now time for Sander Berge to make its name. Recruited from Genk in January, the defensive midfielder has had time to acclimatise to the Premier League. Very tall (1.95m), the Norwegian will be the Blades’ first defensive curtain raiser this season. Starter in his team’s first two games, he is already one of Chris Wilder’s important players.
5. Tariq Lamptey (19) – Brighton
This is the sensation in England. Tariq Lamptey, recruited for three million at Chelsea, is exploding with Brighton. Having played right-back in the first two Premier League games, the young Englishman has already made two assists to his name. Lamptey is adored by his coach and the fans and has everything to be one of the revelations of the season.
4. Illan Meslier (20 years old) – Leeds
The young Frenchman continues to impress. Holder at the end of last season due to the bad performances of Kiko Casilla, the former goalkeeper of Lorient has started the season as number 1. Even if Leeds is still looking for another goalkeeper, Ilan Meslier has shown himself to be a viable alternative for Marcelo Bielsa, who doesn’t hesitate to trust him.
The end of the mercato will be a turning point in his season, but one thing is certain: if given the chance, the tricolour keeper will take it. Will the player be able to make his mark and keep out enough goals to help Leeds win crucial games? Betting gurus are already getting excited to find out.

3. Dwight McNeil (20) – Burnley
It is one of the few clearings in Burnley’s grey game. Author of 38 games last season with the English club, Dwight McNeil is an electric player, excellent at one-on-one. At just 20 years of age, the English left winger will play the role of leading the Clarets’ attack, which is known to be very shy. He has the opportunity to establish himself as one of England’s future youngsters.
2. Fabio Silva (18) – Wolverhampton
It’s the madness of this mercato. Author of only one short season with Porto, Wolverhampton didn’t hesitate to pay 40 M€ for the services of Fabio Silva. The young striker only scored three professional goals but at 18, Wolves didn’t want to miss out on the phenomenon. This season, the Portuguese player will be Raul Jimenez’s understudy at the forefront of the attack. Under Nuno’s command, Fabio Silva will have the opportunity to showcase his talent.
1. Bukayo Saka (19) – Arsenal
Arsenal are attacking this season with great ambitions, and Buyako Saka will have a role to play. Discovered last season, the young left-winger distributed 11 assists in all competitions. Fast, swift and selfless, the English international Espoirs has everything to become one of the spearheads of the Gunners’ attack. At the age of 19, he is already part of the big league.
