1.) Tim Krul - Newcastle
Arguably the best young Dutch goalkeeper in the Newcastle squad, Krul is up against the increasingly inconsistent Shay Given and the incredibly mediocre Steve Harper. 2009 may well be his year.
2.) Raphael da Silva - Man Chester
In the absence of Gary Neville, the only recognised right back in the United squad could get his fair share of appearances this season. He looks a lot like Kieron Richardson and Fergie is confident he will be just as good.
3.) Gareth Bale - Tottenham
The 2006 BBC Wales Young Sports Personality of the Year will be looking to improve on a dissapointing first season at the Spurs, he looked promising when fit and if he can stay fit and show the form he did in patches last season he will be a major player in Spurs success.
4.) Denilson - Arsenal
Tipped by many to be Fabregas' partner in the centre of Arsenal's midfield, Denilson will be hoping to improve on an inconstant 18 months in English football. Many will forget that he is only 20, but I haven't. He is only 20.
5.) David Wheater - Middlesborough
Dave Wheat-Phillips, as he is sometimes referred to, is the best of a very bad bunch of Boro youngsters. No one can deny that he is very tall.
6.) Steven Taylor - Newcastle
Not really a youngster, but surely one to watch. Although only 22 Taylor seems to have been around for years. Maybe this season he will improve.
7.) Giovanni dos Santos - Tottenham
The new Ronaldo? The new Messi? The new Lennon? One thing for sure, if there's a manager who can bring the best out of the young Mexican, it's Arsene Wenger.
8.) Michael Johnson - Manchester
Michael Johnson is fucking awesome. Fact.
9.) Nicklas Bendtner - Arsenal
Probably a make or break season for Niklas. If he has a poor season he'll be off to Birmingham, if he has a good season he'll be off to Barcelona. Good luck Nicklas and thanks for all the fish.
10.) Krisztian Nemeth - Liverpool
The latest prodigy from the never ending conveyor belt that is new look Liverpool youth system . Nemeth is already favourite for Young Player of the Year, it's just a question of whether he can add the WPOTY award to his collection.
11.) Theo Wallchart - Arsenal
At 19 Theo is one of the more experienced members of the current Arsenal squad, and his versatility should mean he will get plenty of time on the pitch. If he is on the pitch and plays well then that will be marvelous.
