5 of the most exciting young players in the Championship

#2 David Brooks

David Brooks

After initially loaning him out for the season, Sheffield United soon backtracked as they became more aware of the talent they had on their hands in David Brooks. After being named the player of the competition at the 2017 Toulon Tournament, the Blades changed their agreement with Chesterfield.

It was a smart decision too, as the player had become the subject of interest from several Premier League sides including Everton.

Brooks is a quite a talent and is noted for his incredible ability and confidence on the ball. The 20-year-old is adept at collecting the ball in front of his defence and driving at opponents, dribbling and linking the midfield and attack together. Brooks’ tall frame makes him even more of a handful and difficult to knock off the ball.

There’s also a lot of flair to his style, with the Warrington-born player highly skilful and capable of humiliating his marker. Those performances at the Toulon excited everyone at Sheffield United and it’s expected there will be more first team minutes coming his way very soon.
