Six attacking players to blow apart the Premier League

Here, we profile six players who have the potential to blow the English Premier League apart if they perform to their potential. They are young, raw, and full of talent, and on their day, have the ability to strike seriously hard.

Kevin De Bruyne

He had an impressive pre-season with Chelsea and was named the man of the match in his Premier League debut. A lot of the attention is focused on Eden Hazard, which could allow De Bruyne to perform without pressure. With his pace and aggression, I can see him holding down a place in the starting 11 and becoming one of the club’s surprise star players.

Joe Cole

The former England international may seem like a new signing for West Ham, having been injured for large parts of the previous season. Whether he appears on the score sheet or gets an assist, you can expect to see the midfielder have a significant influence on what I think will be a great season for West Ham.

Wilfried Bony

He came on as a substitute in his debut against Manchester United and managed to grab their only goal in a 1-4 defeat. When he joined the game there was a notable difference in Swansea’s performance, particularly upfront, as the striker seemed to link well with Michu. I expect Bony to be one of the top goal scorers in this season’s campaign.

Romelu Lukaku

Providing Chelsea do not sign a marque forward I think the Belgian will be the club’s top scorer. He was only given 15 minutes against Hull on the first game of the season, but his strength and pace made almost an immediate impact to their attack. His West Brom form was carried into pre-season where he scored in almost every game he played and constantly threatened the opposition. If he gets enough playing time I can see Lukaku being one of the top five goal scorers this season.

Coutinho

He was relentless against Stoke in Liverpool’s first game of the season, showing as much promise as Eden Hazard. He had plenty of shots at goal and played various key passes to the forwards. By the end of the year Coutinho will be considered one of the most dangerous midfielders in the league. At least, we hope he is.

Kevin Mirallas

Despite missing parts of last season with injuries, the Belgian was still able to score six goals and assist five. With the forward fully fit and Everton taking on a more attacking style under Roberto Martinez, I expect Mirallas to have a successful year at Goodison Park. Mirallas could be very well turn out to be the next big import from Belgium.
