With the English Premier League coming to an end, a host of players have performed well above the rest.
Afrosport shines the light on the young players that have taken the Premier League with exceptional performances by ranking the top 5 young players of the 2022-23 campaign.
5. Jacob Ramsey – Aston Villa
Contributing to 15 wins for the Villians, the 21-year old has shone bright in the Premier League this season. Contributing 4 goals and 5 assists, he has followed up on his impressive 2021/22 season and built consistency.
4. Moises Caicedo – Brighton & Hove Albion
Watching the Ecuadorian play for a few minutes will expose you to the gem that is Moisés Caicedo. His impact in the Brighton team cannot be quantified but the numbers that can be quantified, are worthy of recognition. A midfield marshal that drives the team and links the attack and defence for the perfect balance.
3. William Saliba – Arsenal
To have played this well in his debut Premier League season is frankly ridiculous. William Saliba has been Arsenal’s rock at the back and has been solid consistently throughout the season.
2. Michael Olise – Crystal Palace
Only Kevin De Bruyne (16), Bukayo Saka (11) and Leandro Trossard (10) have more assists in the Premier League than Michael Olise. The 21-year old midfielder has been given the freedom to be creative around the pitch and has shown his ability to pick out a pass when necessary. He definitely has a lot of potential and the Premier League should expect much more from this youngster.
1. Bukayo Saka – Arsenal
Arsenal’s crowned jewel is undoubtably the youngster to watch. His immense contribution in attack has seen the Gunners fighting for the Premier League title and his output has been nothing short of impressive. He tops our list the Top 5 Young Premier League Players this season. The next few years will definitely unearth the quality of Bukayo Saka. There is much more to come from him.
