Premier League: Top 10 U-23 players this season

#6 James Maddison (Leicester City):

Leicester City's Maddison is one of the best playmakers in the league.

The 22-year-old is loving life in the Premier League this season since his arrival from Norwich City last summer. In his 33 appearances for Leicester in the Premier League, Maddison has scored 7 goals and contributed another 6 assists. He has got the ability to deliver a brilliant ball into the box from set-pieces or even score from freekick near the 18-yard box. He is one of the best playmakers in the league and created more chances than any other player in the Premier League this season.

#5 Lucas Torreira (Arsenal):

Arsenal's Torreira only needs a little more time to fit into Emery's tactics.

The 23-year-old arrived from Sampdoria last summer and has had a solid start to his life in the Premier League. The Uruguayan provides energy and tenacity in midfield and is averaging almost 2 tackles and 1.2 interceptions per game for Arsenal in the Premier League this season. He is one of the best when it comes to anticipating opposition's pass and breaking up the play. Torreira has been on the bench for long, now, as he is not fitting in Emery's tactics but he does look like a game changer whenever he comes on.
