Limiting yourself to only five players in a piece like this probably does it more harm than good. There are so many youngsters in the PL who can have a legitimate impact this season, it’d be nicer if you were able to write about as many of them as possible rather than simply a “top-5.” Or, if that’d result in too long a piece, then maybe at least break it up into a few parts.

In case something like this is still possible, here are some more names to consider (and I swear that I’m not a Liverpool fan):

Alex Iwobi, Arsenal

Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Chelsea

Brendan Galloway, Everton

Bartosz Kaputska, Leicester

Demarai Gray, Leicester

Joe Gomez, Liverpool

Ragnar Klavan, Liverpool

Marco Grujic, Liverppol

Sheyi Ojo, Liverpool

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Southampton

Ramadan Sobhi, Stoke

Isaac Success, Watford

Jerome Sinclair, Watford
