Centre-backs:
Callum Chambers
After going through mixed fortunes with Arsenal, Calum Chambers left the North London outfit in the mission of procuring significant experience. Being just 23, the English defender has a massive scope of further improvement and has been hailed as 'talented defender' by Gunners' new boss Unai Emery and also insisted he has a 'bright future'.
Chambers is tipped to a crucial part in Fulham's first Premier League campaign since 2013-14 and Arsenal would always be keeping eye on their auspicious defensive talent.
Kurt Zouma
Kurt Zouma is another talented young defender and a deserving man to appear on this list thanks to some thumping individual performances for Stoke City last season. The French younger also lured Premier League heavyweights Manchester United but however, completed his loan move to Everton from Chelsea in this summer's transfer window.
WhoScored.com claims Zouma generated the statistics of 1.5 tackles, 1.8 interceptions, 6.8 clearances, and 0.8 blocks for The Potters last term. For a defender in a side that conceded plenty of goals and got relegated, those numbers are truly eye-catching and it outlines his defensive potential.
Honourable Mentions: Axel Tuanzebe (Aston Villa), Ashley Williams (Stoke City)
