Watch Out

33. Dan Gosling (Everton)

Signed from Plymouth Argyle last January, the midfield player – 19 in February – had to wait until Boxing Day for his debut and scored against Sunderland two days later. His manager, David Moyes, has been impressed and vowed to give him more opportunities.

32. Robert Lewandowski (Lech Poznan)

Poland’s brightest talent, the predatory 20-year-old striker has already made his debut for the international side and the hype is building.

31. Jose Baxter (Everton)

The speedy Bootle-born 16-year-old striker could have an impact in 2009-10, and will be nurtured carefully by Moyes, who certainly did a good job bringing Wayne Rooney through the ranks.

30. Jay Simpson (Arsenal)

Prolific and pacy Gunners youth team striker who scored twice on his senior debut against Wigan in the Carling Cup in November and has looked in impressive since joining West Bromwich Albion on loan until the end of the 2008-09 season.

29. Jack Collison (West Ham United)

Born in England but a Wales international through his grandfather, this 20-year-old product of the famed West Ham academy has broken into the first-team and not looked out of place.

28. Fabian Delph (Leeds United)

Top-flight vultures are circling Elland Road ready to lavish big money on the 18-year-old midfield prodigy who has dynamic physical attributes and a maturity beyond his years.
