#5 James Tarkowski
Truth be told, James Tarkowski had big boots to fill, when Michael Keane was sold to Everton in the summer of 2017. The 25-year old has been rock-solid at the back for Sean Dyche's side.
He has made the fourth highest number of blocks (37) in the Premier League along with innumerable clearances and tackles. More of the same and he would go on do big things at club level as well as for his country for years to come.
He was given his first cap for England in the recent international break, against Italy, the center-half had an impressive outing, which was tarnished slightly by a controversial penalty decision against him.
