4) John Stones (Everton)
One of the most promising young players in English football at the moment, John Stones has enjoyed a rapid recent rise with Everton after establishing himself as a regular in the second half of the 2013/14 season. A solid and intelligent centre-back showing maturity beyond his years, the 20-year-old has already become part of the England fold, being put on standby for this summer’s World Cup when others argued he should have already been part of the 23-man squad. Chelsea have shown an interest in the player, as have Arsenal, and now may be a good time to try to snap him up as he will surely only continue to improve as a player and enhance his reputation.
