Top 5 Premier League potential breakout players

With the Premier League gearing up for the third week of action, many are excited to watch their club play and hopefully win matches.

Supporters are also excited to watch their favorite players in the Premier League.

The English Premier League is full of some of the world’s best players: Harry Kane, Kevin de Bruyne, Sadio Mane, Sergio Aguero, Mohamed Salah, to name just a few. However, one of the great beauties of this league is the young players who emerge and stamp their authority for the rest of the world to sit up and take notice.

Here are the Top 5 Premier League potential breakout players.

5. Rhian Brewster

Rhian Brewster’s first-team introduction at Liverpool has been a long time coming, with the Under-17 World Cup winner tipped for great things before a bad injury ruled him out of the vast majority of the 2018/19 season. However, still only 19, Jurgen Klopp has talked up the young star’s potential, with the former Chelsea youth starlet likely to step into the role of backup to Roberto Firmino, following Daniel Sturridge’s summer exit.

Brewster has a great goalscoring track record at youth level and also landed the Golden Boot at the 2017 Under-17 World Cup. In the Reds’ pre-season travels, he picked up four strikes whetting fans’ appetites for the campaign to come.

4. Joe Willock

Another one of Arsenal’s young stars, Joe Willock has had a brilliant pre-season, forcing himself into the thoughts of Unai Emery. The 19-year-old shone in games against European heavyweights Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, carrying the ball through experienced opposition midfield with relative ease.

Despite making only six first-team appearances last season, Willock will be confident that he is able to build on that and play significantly more games.

3. Phil Foden

Surprisingly described by Pep Guardiola as the most talented player he has ever managed, Foden is seen as the answer to England’s prayers in the number 10 department.

The 19-year-old struggled for game time last season, but towards the end of the campaign he began to find himself in the team more often. One stand-out moment included a diving header running in from the edge of the box. Going into the 2019/20 season, Manchester City and even England fans will hope to see Foden come of age.

2. Mason Greenwood

Mason Greenwood is a Manchester United fan favorite and they are desperate for the 17-year-old to get his shot in the squad. The striker has been brilliant in pre-season, performing with great pace.

Greenwood performed brilliantly last season too for the Under-18, with 26 goals and eight assists in all competitions. He even played in United’s final game of the season and was arguably their man of the match. With the departure of Lukaku, Greenwood will be hoping that he will be able to rack up some more first-team appearances next season

1. Mason Mount

The 20-year-old wonderkid is highly rated by manager Frank Lampard, who also took him under his wing at Derby. With a transfer ban and a lack of real creative talent at Chelsea, there is no doubt that Mason Mount will have his chance to make a real impact.

Impressive in the Championship last season, Mount scored eight goals and got five assists in the league, and in general was a constant thorn in the side of opposition defenders. There is no doubt that he will be a player to watch next season.
