19-year-old Max Aarons will be a totally new face in the Premier League after helping Norwich reach the top flight for the first time since 2016. The young defender had a wonderful debut season as a professional, logging 41 games in the Championship on his way to becoming a member of the PFA Team of the Year and the EFL Young Player of the Year.

A number of bigger clubs have taken notice of Aarons, but Norwich managed to hold on to him over the summer - which sets him up for a big year. Had Aarons joined one of the big boys of the league, he would've likely been stuck on the bench for most of the season. Instead, he'll be Norwich's starting right-back, and he's also capable of filling in on the left if needed.

Aarons is a very mature defensive player for his age, and he also offers an attacking threat - he had six assists in the Championship last season, which was the fourth-most in the team. The England U19 international also scored twice himself.
