RETURN OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE!
Premier League football returns to entertain football fans with the big kick off coming Saturday, which players should we keep our eyes out for? Find out my opinions in...
3 ATTACKING PLAYERS THAT WILL IMPRESS IN THE 16/17 SEASON
1 - ANDRE GRAY
Exciting Englishman, Andre Gray played a crucial part in Burnley being promoted to the top flight. The 25 year old notched up an impressive 23 goal haul during the season which pushed Burnley up to the summit of the Championship table.
Eventual Champions of the Championship, Burnley have a tough task as they look to cement themselves in the Premier League, with the massive influx of superstar players and managers alike throughout the top sides, the 'smaller' teams in the league will have to battle between themselves as every point, let alone 3, may prove to be vital come the end of the season.
Gray has the potential to get a plus 10 goal tally in the league, with the correct service and if he can retain his form from the previous season, Burnley could challenge remaining in the Premier League.
Pace is a attribute that is essential for a striker in the Premier League, along with the strength Grey possesses he could be a surprise package and an awkward customer for plenty of teams.
A good season with Burnley could see him make a move away from Turf Moor to a more stable side in the league, where we could see him thrive and become a regular in the top scorers list.
2 - JORDON IBE
£15 million new boy, Jordon Ashley Femi Ibe, joins Bournemouth with bags of potential. The English winger has pace, skill and has, on his better days, an eye for goal. Leaving Liverpool would have been an emotional move for the London born 20 year old, as he had a great connection with Liverpool's number 15, Daniel Sturridge. However, the move he made to Bournemouth could prove to be fantastic in terms of his career as he will most likely at least double the amount of games that he starts in meaning he can unleash his ability and show the Premier League what he has.
At only a tender age of 20, he clearly still has time to live up to his potential and grow as a football but what he brings to Bournemouth for this season is energy which could serve them well. Ibe will be one of the main men for Eddie Howe's side and we could see him flourish under his new boss.
Along with striker Callum Wilson, we could be set to see Bournemouth and Jordon Ibe, in particular, take the season by storm, look out for the English youngster.
3 - MARCUS RASHFORD
Every football fan has heard his name. Time and again, this 18 year old has been mentioned. Marcus Rashford has made his name one to remember. His first start came as a shock to him let alone anyone else, when Antony Martial injured himself in the warm up to the Europa League clash with FC Midtjylland on the 24th February. 2 goals on the night of his Manchester United made heads turn. to back that up with 2 goals on his Premier League debut against non other than Arsenal made people take notice and ask questions about the United Academy graduate. 1 Manchester Derby, 1 Marcus Rashford goal, after he embarrassed Demichelis and put the ball beyond Joe Hart. 96 days after his call up to the Manchester United line up, he was called up to the England National Team, for which, just 2 minutes into the game, Marcus Rashford scored! The King of Debuts!
Marcus proved last season that he will take any opportunity given to him and thrive off it, and this is the reason I rate him as a potential superstar for this season. I don't think he will beat Zlatan to a starting spot in the team but training with Ibrahimovic will benefit Rashford an incredible amount. The reason Rashford will be so key to Manchester United this season will be his energy and desire to score. This will win Manchester United so many points when he comes off the bench for the final 20-30 minutes and creates and scores chances.
