Best U19 Talents To Watch In the Premier League For 2022-23

The Premier League 2022-23 promises to be one of the kickass seasons ever. The amount of sheer talent and superstar names on display is astounding. All of the top six have made a number of signings to strengthen their sides.

Defending champions Manchester City added Erling Haaland and Kalvin Phillips. Liverpool brought in Dariwin Nunez and Fabio Carvalho.

Chelsea signed Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly. That is just the top-three from 2021-22.

No doubt all of these players will have a huge role to play as the campaign progresses. However, as always, there’s been plenty of buzz surrounding the youngsters who are set to shine.

Will Kalidou Koulibaly offset the departures of two key defensive pieces? Chelsea will certainly hope so given his experience

While they may not be as active as the stalwarts, the teenage talents have the world at their feet and the time to take centerstage is now. In that regard, FootTheBall discusses the best U19 prospects from the upcoming league season.

Kayky (Manchester City)

The former Fluminense striker is one of Brazil’s leading lights for the next generation alongside 16-year-old starlet Endrick Felipe, Savinho, Metinho and others. Moreover, Kayky has already made two appearances for Manchester City’s senior team in 2022.

Kayky’s last five months:

Guardiola’s side have a wealth of attacking talent as starters so Kayky will be used from the bench. Alongside Liam Delap, he can become regulars in the domestic cup competitions.

Alfie Devine (Spurs)

The soon-to-be 18-year-old is the brightest light in Spurs’ youth ranks. Devine is the youngest-ever player to represent the side. Though he is yet to debut in the Premier League, Devine can be the go-to option from the bench in 2022-23.

Antonio Conte is not the keenest to try out youngsters, but Devine is a special product. The attacking midfielder can carry the ball upfield extremely well, alongside finding the killer passes. Devine’s service to the strikers will be especially interesting to watch.

If he can continue shining with the U23s, it is only a matter of time before he is a regular face in the senior side.
