Luke Shaw
The pretender to the throne.
Rather shockingly, Southampton left back Luke Shaw is still just 18 years of age, for he already seems to have been around forever.
Few players are Premier League regulars at the age of 17, but Shaw took to his debut campaign in the top flight like a duck to water.
At 6’1″, Shaw is comfortably the tallest left back of the four contenders, and wins comfortably the most aerial duels with 1.8 per game.
Shaw is set to win his England debut against Denmark, and though the 2014 FIFA World Cup may come slightly too early for the Saints teenager, he looks set to be a stalwart for the Three Lions for years to come afterwards.
