Five youngsters that could make their Premier League breakthrough this season

Jonathan Leko

The 17-year-old forward was used regularly by West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis towards the end of last season, and impressed with a series of accomplished performances. After a taste of Premier League action, and a pre-season spent with the first-team, Leko will be hungry for more. With the departure of Saido Berahino expected in the coming weeks, Pulis may look to see if Leko can step up to the plate, rather than splashing out on an expensive replacement.

His blistering pace offers something slightly different to a Baggies side renowned for their defensive organisation, and whilst his end product may require work, his dribbling ability and willingness to run at opponents could be particularly useful when Pulis’s men are playing away from home.
