Wales v Ireland - International Friendly

Age: 20 | Club: Crystal Palace | Nationality: Welsh | Position: Attacking Midfielder | Premier League Appearances: 6

Welsh football has certainly made itself felt in the Premier League in the recent years. Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey have won plenty of plaudits and this season we were treated to the Premier League’s first ever South Wales derby. To add to the growing influence, we expect big things from Jonathan Williams.

But promotion to the Premier League means that the team has a decent amount of money to spend and as a result competition for places increases. Williams made his Premier League bow against Spurs in the opening weekend of this season as he came off the bench, a recurring theme this season.

After 2 more appearances off the bench, he suffered an injury which lead to him missing the next 8 league games. His return has been a bit stop start with 3 appearances off the bench.

Williams has shown glimpses of why he is so highly thought of and was a bit unlucky with the injury so early in the campaign. Hopefully he can break into the starting XI of Pulis’ side in the second half of the season and showcase his considerable talent.
