Mason Mount (Chelsea & England)
Mason Mount has set the Premier League alight this season with a series of jaw-dropping performances. Mount has been one of the beneficiaries of Chelsea's transfer ban as the London club has been forced to rely on their collection of youth talent.

The former Chelsea academy captain was a member of the club's infamous 'loan army', with spells in Holland - playing for Vitesse Arnhem and with Frank Lampard's Derby County in the Championship last season.
He had a fantastic time in Holland and was named Vitesse Arnhem's player of the year after a string of stellar showings. His impressive time at Derby County earned him a call up to Frank Lampard's first team at Chelsea and he has gone on to make his debut for the English senior team as well. Mount has played eight times in the Premier League so far this season and has four goals and an assist to his name.
Joao Felix (Atletico Madrid & Portugal)
Finally, the man touted by many to be the next Golden Ball winner. Joao Felix is tipped as the natural successor to Cristiano Ronaldo and he also comes with a hefty price tag.
Once deemed 'too small' at Porto, the prodigy packed his bags for Lisbon and joined Benfica. He hasn't looked back since, repaying the faith bestowed upon him via a string of scintillating performances. This prompted Benfica to pin a hefty €120 million release clause on him.
The 19-year-old scored 15 goals in 26 games for Benfica in his debut season and he also became the first teenager to score a hat-trick in the UEFA Europa League, prompting advances from some of the biggest clubs across the continent.
Atletico Madrid beat others to his signature by paying €126 million, making him the second most expensive teenager in history after a certain Kylian Mbappe. He has been saddled with the responsibility of filling Antoine Griezmann's big shoes at the Spanish capital and so far the 19-year-old has been impressive.
