Top 10 breakthrough stars of the Premier League season (2019-20)

#4 Dwight McNeil | Burnley

Dwight McNeil's season has gone under the radar

Dwight McNeil's emergence has gone under the radar this season due to a raft of English players making a name for themselves at the top-six clubs. However, the 20-year-old has quietly gone about his business and established himself as an indispensable member of Sean Dyche's team.

McNeil has made the left midfielder position his own in a wide 4-4-2 and delivered eye-catching displays for the Clarets. Aside from his crossing ability and work rate, the Englishman's ability to drive forward with the ball at his feet is his standout trait, having started every Premier League game for Burnley this season.

The Rochdale-born winger is one of the brightest talents in the country and has already made over 50 appearances in the top-flight despite making his debut last season, a stunning return for a 20-year-old.
