PHIL JONES
The ex-Blackburn ace is one that is considered to be the next England captain by many. His move to Manchester United could be the perfect move for the young center-back. Playing under the guidance of Sir Alex Ferguson certainly can't be a bad thing for any player, especially if you already have the talent that Jones seems to possess.He has been compared to the likes of John Terry, which can be no bad thing in terms of on the field ability and leadership. If he can manage to break though the obvious regulars, Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand, then it could be a significant season for Jones in the red of Man United.
DANIEL STURRIDGE
After his move from Manchester City to Chelsea a few years ago, it looked as if Sturridge would struggle to develop at Stamford Bridge, however a loan move to Bolton Wanderers in the second half of last season seemed to be extremely beneficial for the young striker as he scored eight Premier League goals in twelve outings for the Trotters. There has been talk with another loan move to several Premier League clubs this summer but as yet nothing has materialised. England Under 21 honours have since followed as he was one of the stand out performers in the overall disappointing Under 21 European Championships earlier in the summer. One to watch if he can manage to get ahead of the likes of Fernando Torres, Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka. A loan move might be ideal for him this season.
AARON RAMSEY
The young Wales and Arsenal starlet had his career take a step back after his horrific leg break at Stoke back in early 2010. Before that he was considered to be one of the hottest young prospects in Britain, with his passing and movement particularly eye-catching. It has been a long rehabilitation since the break from which he recovered from in October 2010. He was sent out on load twice last season to Nottingham Forest and Cardiff City, playing eleven times overall, scoring once.
He ended the season with a flourish for Arsenal scoring in the win against Manchester United in May, along with claiming the Man of the Match award. He managed seven first team appearances for the Gunners last season, proving he has recovered fully from the injury.
With Cesc Fabregas seemingly on his way out of Arsenal, Ramsey could be lighting up the Premier League next season.
FABIAN DELPH
Since his move to Aston Villa from Leeds United in 2009, Delph has only featured 15 times for the first team, mainly due to the fact that he damaged his cruciate ligaments in his knee in April 2010. This has hampered his Villa career up until now, however he is still highly regarded at Villa Park as one for the future. He has been capped at England U19 and U21 level, and will be looking to break into the Villa first team next season. Although he hasn't proved himself at this level, this could be the season which Delph establishes himself as a Premier League player.
HARIS VUCKIC
Although Vuckic is relatively unknown to the football world, he is highly regarded at Newcastle United. After moving from his native Slovenia in 2009 to Tyneside, his development was stunted in 2010 when he suffered a serious knee injury playing for Newcastle reserves. This came at the wrong time for Vuckic who had just made his league debut for the Magpies in the 1-0 win over Leicester City at St James' Park in September 2010. He returned for the start of the 2010/11 campaign, first catching the footballing worlds eye in Newcastle's 4-3 Carling Cup win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
The attacking midfielder didn't feature much for the first team last season, with the odd bench warming job during the season.
His performances for Newcastle in pre-season friendlies this summer have again shown his undoubted talent, scoring against Columbus Crew and Leeds United in the last few weeks. The goal against Columbus being particularly impressive. With Newcastle having a relatively small squad, Vuckic could yet force his way into the first team at St James' Park.
