#3 Jack Grealish

After eye-catching performances at Aston Villa, Jack Grealish arrived at Manchester City for a record £100 million transfer fee. With this transfer, Grealish became the most expensive player in Premier League history. The 26-year-old had also made his national boss Gareth Southgate take notice and he soon featured for England in the Euros.

During the first few months at Man City, he seemed to be weighed down by the hype and expectation that always comes with such a hefty price tag. He has two goals and two assists for City in the Premier League so far. However, it's still too early to judge his stint at City.

Grealish is often overly criticized due to his extravagant transfer fee. Although he may not have a tremendous amount of goals, Grealish has created a lot of chances from open play. His ability to drag defenders and win fouls, combined with an ability to contribute to the build-up play earns him a rating of 7.24.


#2 Phil Foden

Phil Foden is one of the best young talents in the world of football. At just 21, Foden has already won three Premier Leagues, one FA Cup, and four League Cups. Foden was impressive in England’s successful U-17 World Cup in 2017 and was soon promoted to City’s senior squad.

Foden has recently played in a wider position, with the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva controlling the midfield. Foden has scored five goals and provided three assists in 15 Premier League appearances this season. These goal contributions, combined with his intelligent off-the-ball movement, earned him a rating of 7.26.

The Premier League has been blessed with immensely talented youngsters, and Phil Foden is part of the next generation of superstars of the league. Given the current crop of outstanding English youngsters, the Three Lions fans have a lot to look forward to.


#1 Jarrod Bowen

Jarrod Bowen claims top spot on this list. Bowen joined West Ham in 2020 from Hull City for a fee close to £22 million. The Englishman was subject to a lot of scrutiny at the start of his Premier League career, but he has proven all his doubters wrong. He has also been shortlisted for the Premier League Player of the Month award for January.

The 25-year-old has six goals and nine assists in 23 Premier League appearances and has a rating of 7.27. The winger has contributed to more than a third of the Hammers’ goals. Bowen is West Ham’s leading assist provider, only behind Michail Antonio in the goalscoring charts.

West Ham have been impressive under David Moyes and are currently fifth in the league. The top-four race is heating up and the Hammers will have to maintain their rhythm and consistency if they are looking to secure a European spot.
