5 of the most exciting young players in the Championship

#3 Sergi Canos

Sergi Canos

With a penchant for the spectacular, Sergi Canos might well be the silkiest player on the ball in the Championship right now. After being unable to push through at Liverpool, Canos moved on to Norwich before ending up at Brentford where he has settled immensely. Despite being just 20-years-old, he’s a fan-favourite and regular fixture in the first team for the Bees.

Canos is a versatile presence too as he can operate behind a striker, in attacking midfield as a classic 10 and in the wide areas. As you’d expect from a modern Spanish midfielder, Canos is calm and classy in possession. It allows Brentford to take control in games and operate on the front foot against opponents.

The 20-year-old is also extremely quick too and his nifty footwork allows him to get out of tight situations. Driving off the wing, he’s a real danger, and with the license to cut inside can unleash a superb shot or slip in a teammate with a smart pass.
