#10 Dele Alli (21 - Tottenham Hotspur, England)
It is hard to fathom how well Dele Alli has progressed over the past two years. The former MK Dons youngster is now England’s big hope along with his Tottenham Hotspur teammate Harry Kane.
At the tender age of 21, Alli is clearly ahead of the Premier League’s midfield icons like Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and David Beckham. A simple stat stands testament to this – Alli has been involved in as many Premier League goals (40) before turning 21 as Frank Lampard (15), Steven Gerrard (13) and David Beckham (12) combined.
He is now a permanent fixture in the Spurs line-up as well as the English national team. With two successive PFA young player of the year awards under his belt now, Dele will look to challenge for even bigger honours in the future. Given his age and stellar abilities, there is no frontier that he can’t triumph over.
