Anthony Gordon has come up the ranks and established himself as an Everton regular this season.

The Englishman has been with Everton for nearly a decade now. Making his professional debut in 2017, Gordon had a relatively quiet career prior to this season.

Gordon spent the second half of last season on loan at Preston North End, making 11 appearances for the Championship club. He was integrated into Everton's first-team after returning from loan and has been extremely impressive this season.

Lining up as an attacking midfielder, Gordon has already made 21 Premier League appearances this season. He has adapted to regular league football almost immediately and has looked exceedingly reliable this season.

Gordon has scored three league goals for Everton this season, while also providing two assists. At just 21 years of age, Gordon certainly has a high ceiling in terms of potential.


#2. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - Leicester City

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is a player who has gone under the radar this season.

Dewsbury-Hall grew up in England and joined the Leicester City academy in 2006. He signed his professional contract with the Foxes in 2017 and followed this up with a couple of loan moves to the Championship.

He spent the second half of the 2019-20 season with Blackpool and also moved to Luton Town last year on a season-long loan. He made 39 appearances for Luton Town and impressed Leicester City, who integrated him into the first-team shortly thereafter.

A midfielder by trade, Dewsbury-Hall is an excellent passer who reads the game very well. Since making his debut in August last year, Dewsbury-Hall has gone on to make a total of 16 Premier League appearances this season.


#1. Max Kilman - Wolverhampton Wanderers

Max Kilman has emerged as one of Wolves' most reliable defenders.

Kilman signed for Wolves in 2018 after representing a couple of sides in semi-professional leagues. His first two seasons with Wolves were relatively quiet, with Kilman only making a combined four appearances.

He got his first big break during the 2020-21 season, when he went on to make 18 league appearances. Primarily a centre-back, Kilman is also capable of playing as a left-back and as a left-winger.

Kilman's impressive performances last season have seen him become a first-team regular for Wolves this season. He has played in all 27 of Wolves' league matches so far and has been extremely consistent throughout.
