5 reasons why this is the best EPL season in a long time

4. English Talent Flourishing

Of course, I don’t wish to jinx anything but, ahead of this summer’s European Championships in France, I’ve never felt more optimistic about England’s chances in an elite competition. Why? Because our better individuals have been given more game time this season and a select few have repaid the favour ten times over.

High-flying Tottenham have been spearheaded by this season’s top scorer at present Harry Kane (22 goals) and his midfield counterpart Dele Alli, who, at just 20-years-old looks like one of Europe’s hottest talents, let alone England.

With Danny Rose and Marcus Rashford among others who have seen steady improvements this term, the older members of the Three Lions have also transformed their fortunes. James Milner has anchored down the Liverpool midfield, making 9 assists this campaign, Troy Deeney has scored 9 and assisted on 6 occasions, while Jamie Vardy’s success is all too well known.

It’s both a promising and refreshing reality to our national game to see the DNA of the team changing for the better.
