The Premier League has some amazing youngsters right now and one of them is definitely Emile Smith Rowe. The Englishman, 21, has been amazing for Arsenal in the 2021-22 season so far.

With nine goals and two assists to his name this campaign, Smith Rowe has been a valuable asset for the Gunners. Manager Mikel Arteta has put a lot of trust in the youngster and it has paid off well.

The English forward has a goal-per-shot ratio of 0.31, the second-best in the league this season. Smith Rowe has scored thrice while coming on as a substitute this season.

He will be crucial to Arsenal's ambitions to qualify for the Champions League next season. They currently sit in fifth position, two points off fourth-placed Manchester United albeit with three games in hand.


#2 Riyad Mahrez (Manchester City)

Manchester City have incredible depth in their squad, which has come in handy more often than not. With some quality wingers at their disposal, Riyad Mahrez has at times struggled to start regularly.

Nevertheless, the Algerian has made sure to capitalize on the chances that he is given. This season has been no different as Mahrez has gone on to score thrice coming on as a substitute.

Despite 10 starts this campaign, the Manchester City winger has scored eight goals and registered four assists in the Premier League. He holds the second-best ratio of goals per 90 minutes with a ratio of 0.70 so far this season.


#1 Marcus Rashford (Manchester United)

The Manchester United forward may not be looking in the best of form right now but he still possesses the quality to be brutal in front of goal. Injuries have played a part in his struggles on the pitch but he has the potential to turn it around.

Marcus Rashford, using his blistering pace, amazing footwork and wonderful goal-scoring abilities, remains an important player for Manchester United. A change in form would do wonders for the Red Devils. They need to consistently win to stand a chance of finishing in the top four of the Premier League.

The Englishman has so far scored four goals in the league in just nine starts. Amazingly, all four goals have come on as a substitute, as he remains the most effective substitute in the league right now.
