The young scouser has stepped up this season amidst the Liverpool injury crisis. The skilful centre midfielder has impressed many with his confident displays so far this term.
The youngster has forced his way into the Liverpool team this season, putting up some dazzling performances. Jones’ close control and dribbling are his best qualities.
He was very impressive in Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Jose Mourinho’s Spurs side last month.
Illan Meslier
The young French goalkeeper has been a class signing this season. He recently set a new record by becoming the youngest goalkeeper to reach five Premier League clean sheets since Joe Hart in December 2007.
The attacking philosophy of Marco Bielsa often leaves Meslier with much to do. Leeds’ expansive style of play means that Meslier has been thrown in the deep end this season,
Despite this Meslier has been one of the best keeper in the division this season.
Tariq Lamptey
The Brighton full back has impressed many this season shutting out some of the best wingers in the world as well as creating opportunities for his team.
Lamptey made the brave decision to leave Chelsea as he could not see a future at the club. Fast forward six months and the youngster has established himself as one of the best prospects in the league.
Even with a wealth of options in defence, his recent performances may lead to him being in contention to become England’s first choice right back.
Phil Foden
Foden is one of the brightest talents in world football. His brilliant technique and quality on the ball fits perfectly with Pep Guardiola’s philosophy.
The Mancunian is a pleasure to watch and this season Foden has established himself into the first team.
