Top 5 U-23 players in the Premier League so far this season

#2 Leroy Sane (Manchester City)

Manchester City's German starlet - Leroy Sane

The German international has been sensational for the Citizens this season and his link-up play with Kevin De Bruyne, Sergio Aguero, and Gabriel Jesus have provided City a brand of scintillating football.

Sane's skill on the ball and his vision is such that it is unimaginable to think that he is only 21. He had earlier played at Schalke 04 for two years before joining City for £37 million.

That fee is money very well spent. It is almost a snip in the current transfer market where a £100 million transfer is not a barrier elite clubs think twice about paying for top talent.

Sane has both potential and the ability to deliver on the pitch at the moment and he has proved this season that he is already close to being world-class. Sane was short-listed for the PFA Young Player of the Year last season and is a sure shot to be nominated once more this year.

He has six goals and five assists in the Premier League along with two assists in the Champions League. He has played in every single Premier League game so far showing how much Pep Guardiola values and trusts him.

10 - Leroy Sane has had a hand in 10 goals in his last seven Premier League games for Man City (6 goals, 4 assists). Handy. pic.twitter.com/tts1n85fw5
