5 Scotland-based players good enough to play in the Premier League

#2 John McGinn (Hibernian)

The ferocious McGinn

This addition is still raw but McGinn has enough about his game to play at a higher level. In the Scottish Championship, McGinn was the undisputed best player in the league with Hibernian for 2 seasons but in their first year together in the top flight, the little midfielder hasn't looked out of place.

The biggest thing going for McGinn is that he's left-footed, a surprising rarity in the central midfield, and it means he offers teams a great balance. He has a diverse shooting range which will improve with age. McGinn now has 5 caps for the Scotland national team and should be a mainstay in their squad for many years to come.

A comparatively similar Premier League player to him would be Jack Wilshere, with added bite. McGinn has good passing like Arsenal's man, but has the aggression needed to be an excellent defensive shield when it matters.

Celtic has been talked about as a possible destination for the player, but he could be a suitable option for a mid-table Premier League outfit needing options in their midfield. What also is of great importance is McGinn has boundless confidence and cockiness, for many good footballers make it to the Premier League, but don't have this and eventually disappear without a trace.
