#3 Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (Tottenham Hotspur)
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has been a revelation since his arrival at Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
He did not take much time to hit his stride at his new club, particularly standing out in Spurs' impressive Premier League win over Manchester City.
Hojbjerg arrived at Tottenham Hotspur with a 'nasty' reputation of breaking up opposition play - he won possession more times than any other player in the Premier League last season.
Endeared by these attributes, Jose Mourinho - a manager who doesn't mind winning ugly - landed the Danish midfielder at high-flying Spurs.
Hojbjerg has brought much-needed steel to the Spurs midfield. Although he does not score too many goals or produce assists to hog the limelight - blame it on Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min for that - the Dane is becoming an indispensable player under Mourinho.
Hojbjerg's form and his ability to do more of the 'dirty work' could be pivotal in Spurs winning their first Premier League title this season.
#2 Wesley Fofana (Leicester City)
After arriving from French club St. Etienne this season, Wesley Fofana has impressed in his new surroundings at Leicester City.
The 20-year-old Frenchman's arrival has massively improved the stuttering Leicester defence and taken the pressure off Caglar Soyuncu.
Fofana is already being heralded as one of the signings of the Premier League season despite his young age.
Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has described the player as 'colossal' following his impact at the Premier League club, saying in this regard:
“We knew he was a top player for someone so young, and when we spoke to people out there and seeing all the clips, you could see he has anticipation as a defender, he has speed, he has aggression, he defends forward, so all the attributes we like here."
#1 Curtis Jones (Liverpool)
Curtis Jones impressed in his maiden Premier League season in 2019-20, scoring a goal in six appearances to play a small part in Liverpool winning their first English league title in three decades.
This season, the 19-year-old midfielder has already benefitted from increased game-time, having made 11 appearances in the Premier League and four in the Champions League, impressing fans and critics alike with performances that belie his young years.
Against Ajax, Jones scored the winner to seal Liverpool's berth in the Round of 16 of the Champions League. In the process, he became the third-youngest goal-scorer for the club in the competition.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp recently said about the player:
"Curtis, I have to say is just a proper, proper part of this squad, which is really already an achievement, if you want. Nothing you want to tell your grandkids (about), because if it's the best thing you ever did in your life, it's not so nice. But for the age group he is in, it's massive."
Jones may not have opened his Premier League account yet but could be a key player for the club in the years to come.
