#4 Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Crystal Palace)

Wan-Bissaka is another man who many people would have been unaware of this time last year, even some Crystal Palace fans. However, injuries meant that the right-back was thrown in at the deep end in the second half of last season, and he has been excellent ever since. Even in what has been a difficult start to the season for Palace, Wan-Bissaka has been a standout performer.
It has been a remarkable rise for the 20-year-old, who started last season as the third choice right back, with both Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Martin Kelly both ahead of him in the pecking order. However, he took his chance, and now is one of the best young full backs in the league. He was rightly named Palace’s Player of the Month for August and will continue to be a vital player in their battle for survival.
