5: Jack Rodwell - Everton (DM)
It might be easy to forget that Jack Rodwell is still only nineteen. He seems to have been around the Everton team for ages having made his Premier League debut back in 2008 and has now made over fifty appearances for Everton. While originally a centre-back, he has moved forward to a move holding midfield role as he has matured. Unfortunatley, injuries have prevented him from forcing his way into Fabio Capello's England side, but with such composure and technique for a young man, it's only a matter of time. Having already been heavily linked with Man Utd and Chelsea, Everton face an uphill task keeping hold of him.
4: Jordan Henderson - Sunderland (CM)
Jordan Henderson is another sure pick for future England selection and a possible move to one of the bigger clubs in the Premiership. While originally played on the right wing, the absence of Lee Cattermole allowed him to move to his preferred central role and he has excelled in the position. Already a fan favourite, Henderson has played over sixty games for Sunderland and has been linked with Man Utd. Henderson's form was rewarded when he was selected for England to face France.
3: Jack Wilshere - Arsenal (CM)
Arsene Wenger didn't want Jack Wilshere to go back to Bolton after his impressive loan spell there last season. Instead, he wants him to try and force his way into the Arsenal first team. Arsenal boast an impressive array of talent in their midfield so Wilshere isn't guaranteed first team football. This said, he has managed to play an integral part in Arsenal's title challenge, showing off his vision, passing and movement. Having been compared to Paul Scholes, Wilshere will undoubtedly be a future superstar.
2: Andrew Carroll - Newcastle United (ST)
I know Carroll is technically over 21, but only by 4 days, so I'm going to break my own rules here and let is slide. After the departure of Michael Owen, Mark Viduka and Obafemi Martins after Newcastle's relegation, Carroll was one of the few remaining strikers left at St. James' Park. While his pairing with Shola Ameobi may have initially seemed unnerving to Newcastle fans they needn't have worried, as he finished the season with 17 goals in the Championship. He has seemingly managed to cope in the Premier League having already scored 11 goals. He has been linked to Tottenham but I think he should maybe stay at Newcastle for at least one more season to really develop his skills and Premier League experience.
1: Gareth Bale - Tottenham Hostpur (LB/LM)
Who else would you choose for you're number one pick? Gareth Bale has been in incredible form over the last year. Who would have thought it too, after Tottenham just couldn't find a win in 24 games when Bale played? However, after convincing displays and goals against Arsenal and Chelsea, Bale's form went from strength to strength. In a strong midfield alongside Luka Modric, Aaron Lennon and Rafael Van Der Vaart, Tottenham have many attacking options and are playing very well. Bale has been key to this form and inspired wins against Inter Milan as well as almost single handedly salvaging the first game against them, scoring a hat-trick in their 4-3 defeat. His speed, delivery and finishing are up with some of the best players in the world right now and he looks to improve every game.
Thanks for reading. Who would you put in your Top-10? Let me know!
