The Guardian have revealed who they think will become future stars in the Premier League

With the Premier League being the richest league in world football, it can be extremely difficult for youngsters to make the grade in England’s top-flight.

Even Marcus Rashford - who only got given his chance due to an injury-crises - has had to compete with the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to make a name for himself at Manchester United.

For every Rashford that has made the progression from academy to first-team seamlessly, though, there’s a Will Keane or a Nick Powell that has struggled to make it.

But predicting whether a youngster will go on to become a world-class player can be extremely difficult - especially when they have to try to make the jump into first-team football in the most competitive league in the world.

But the Guardian seem to really enjoy tipping youngsters for greatness.

In the previous three years, they've named the best Under-17 player at each Premier League club - and they’ve done so once again.

Incidentally, in years gone by, they’ve have named the likes of Rashford, Reece Oxford, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ben Woodburn as their ‘Next Generation’ talents.
