It’s difficult to predict who will make it in the Premier League and who won’t, but The Guardian have listed their top 20 best talents coming through the ranks at moment.

Antrim-born Jamie Donley has a father from Northern Ireland and a mother from England, this left-footed No 9, noted for his tenacity and finishing ability, has been capped at youth level by both countries.

Donley, who can drop off and show a good range of passing, played up and impressed for the Spurs under-18s last season. Has been at the club’s academy since the age of eight
Cian Coleman is rated extremely highly at Elland Road and, having just left school, spent part of this summer training with Marcelo Bielsa’s first team.
The versatile central midfielder is seen as potentially a “new Kalvin Phillips” but can also operate at centre-half. Despite being born in Pudsey, West Yorkshire, his allegiance is with Ireland and he is already part of their under-19 squad.
At Leeds, Coleman has regularly played above his age group, appearing for the under-21s at the age of only 15, and has certainly caught Bielsa’s eye
