RETURN OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE!
Premier League football returns to entertain football fans, we look through the ranks of players to see which players should we keep our eyes out for? Find out my opinions in...
3 DEFENDERS (INCLUDING GOALKEEPERS) THAT WILL IMPRESS IN THE 16/17 SEASON
1 - VICTOR VALDES
Despite being 34 years old and not making his mark on the Premier League with Manchester United, Middlesbrough have made a fantastic transfer swoop by brining the Spaniard into the team. His experience and goalkeeping abilities will help win Middlesbrough points and keep them fighting in the top flight. He will not only be useful in terms of his personal attributes but he will give the squad confidence from the past and medals Valdes has achieved. Middlesbrough as a whole have had an incredible transfer market and Victor Valdes is just one of the players who will prove himself this season and have a fantastic run. Valdes would have been a quality player for any side in the league and if it hadn't have been for Manchester United having David De Gea, I would've tipped him to do well at Old Trafford.
2 - TIMOTHY FOSU-MENSAH
Anybody who has seen even just 15 minutes of Timothy Fosu-Mensah's game knows that he is destined to be a star in football. The Dutch international stands at a huge 6'3"and has a massive built body, the 18 year old is strong and plays the defensive role very well, because he has vision and composure to tackle and go up against any striker as well as getting his head up and playing out of defence. Under Jose Mourinho at Manchester United, Fosu-Mensah signed a new 5 year contract and is looking part of Jose's plans. How long is it before we see the youngster starting? He certainly has the talent and is one to watch...
3 - REECE OXFORD
In a West Ham United squad where youth talent is no rarity, one man, Reece Oxford shines brighter than anyone. After making his competitive debut for 'The Hammers' against Arsenal he was hailed by West Hams supports for having Mesut Ozil 'in his pocket' and keeping the German superstar very quiet in the game. Under mastermind manager Slaven Bilic, Reece Oxford come become a key figure in the side and progress to become a fantastic player for England in future years! This could be the season we see Reece Oxford push his way into the side at the new home of West Ham, The London Stadium, and live up the the potential and awe supports have of him.
Will England's talented youngsters live up to their potentials? Does this mean England might have a good National Team in the coming years? Which defender have I missed off my list? Let me know your thoughts on the new season!
