James Ward-Prowse – Southampton
Over half of Ward-Prowse’s 34 Premier League appearances last season came from the bench.
The 19-year-old was the sideshow, as a host of other Englishmen took centre stage at St Mary’s.
However, with Luke Shaw, Adam Lallana and Rickie Lambert all moving on to bigger and better things, it is Ward-Prowse’s time to move up one on the Southampton conveyer belt and become the next, next big thing.
Midfielder Ward-Prowse is certainly an England star in the making. His technique in possession is exceptional and his set-piece delivery is – whisper it – Beckham-esque.
The lad is going to have a brilliant season and, sorry Saints fans, it could well be his last in red and white.
