While Tottenham – and perhaps to a greater extent –\u00a0Chelsea, are paying the price for a disappointing season last time round.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, it was his starring role in the Blues’ development outfit last term that got many excited at Cobham.<\/p>\n Burstow took the form that saw him record 14 goal contributions in 25 games into pre-season, where he netted the equaliser against Borussia Dortmund in\u00a0Chicago.<\/p>\n The 6ft 2ins striker has already featured in two of Chelsea’s three Premier League games this term.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mason Burstow joined from League One side Charlton, where he scored twice in 16 games<\/p>\n Bashir Humphreys –\u00a0 Chelsea<\/span><\/p>\n Chelsea will likely dominate possession against League One Wimbledon on Wednesday night with ball-playing defender\u00a0Bashir Humphreys likely to be involved in a lot of the play.\u00a0<\/p>\n The 20-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at German second tier side\u00a0Paderborn, making 12 appearances as the side finished sixth.\u00a0<\/p>\n Before injury halted his progress up the Chelsea youth ranks,\u00a0Humphreys was a permanent fixture and recovered well to impress former manager Graham Potter enough to be drafted into multiple training sessions with the senior team.\u00a0<\/p>\n The defender\u00a0made his senior debut in an FA Cup tie at Manchester City in January 2023.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bashir Humphreys made his senior debut in an FA Cup tie at Manchester City in January 2023<\/p>\n \u00a0Andrey Santos – Nottingham Forest\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n Technically, Santos is the third Chelsea player on this list, but his loan move to Nottingham Forest means he’ll be turning out for Steve Cooper’s side this term.\u00a0<\/p>\n Chelsea signed Andrey Santos from Vasco da Gama in January but he has had to wait in the wings back in Brazil while he sorted out a work permit.<\/p>\n The 19-year-old is a versatile midfielder with a great engine and he will likely get a chance to showcase his talents in the east Midlands this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n Santos made 49 appearances for Vasco da Gama, and his performances were enough to see him receive his first senior cap for Brazil back in March.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nottingham Forest fans can look forward to seeing the 19-year-old Andrey Santos in red this season<\/p>\n \u00a0Jesurun Rak-Sakyi – Crystal Palace<\/span><\/p>\n Another youngster with connections to the Blues,\u00a0Rak-Sakyi made the switch from west London to south when he joined Palace in 2019, and quickly established himself in the youth set-up at the club.\u00a0<\/p>\n The forward models his game after Eagles star\u00a0Eberechi Eze and got his first minutes of the season for the senior squad against Arsenal this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n Noted by his manager for his composure,\u00a0Rak-Sakyi scored 15 goals and registered ten assists on-loan at Charlton last season and scooped the club’s\u00a0Player of the Year and Players’ Player of the Year awards.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘I\u2019m very pleased with him, very pleased for him and we believe at Crystal Palace that he has a big future and will get better and better.’ Palace boss Roy Hodgson said of the 20-year-old.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 20-year-old Jesurun Rak-Sakyi models his game after Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze<\/p>\n Ashley Phillips – Tottenham\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Tottenham completed a reported \u00a32million signing of the highly-rated 18-year-old from Blackburn earlier this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n The defender penned a five-year contract after\u00a0a breakout campaign for Rovers last term in the Championship, featuring eight times with a further six appearances across all competitions.<\/p>\n Phillips\u00a0has also made several appearances for England across various junior levels over the past two years.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Spurs completed a reported \u00a32million

in the Premier League this term but looks to have a great future in the division ahead of him.<\/p>\n Harris has scored 25 goals and provided five assists in 35 appearances for the U21s.<\/p>\n He has already been called up to Wales’ senior squad and made his top-flight debut last October – making a further two appearances since.<\/p>\n The 18-year-old secured a new contract until 2026 earlier this year and could yet\u00a0could enjoy a break through season if given the chance by Marco Silva – who has tipped him to become a top player.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Luke Harris\u00a0made his top-flight debut last October – making a further two appearances since<\/p>\n Owen Farmer – Wolves<\/span><\/p>\n Wolves winger\u00a0Owen Farmer has been on the radar of fans at Molineux for at least a couple of years and turned out for the side during pre-season under then-manager Julen\u00a0Lopetegui.\u00a0<\/p>\n The 18-year-old bounced between midfield and attacking roles before getting settled in the frontline, though he is adept at playing in a number of positions.\u00a0<\/p>\n A technically gifted player, Farmer had 11 goal contributions in 18 Premier League 2 games last season and is in prime position to make his mark on the senior team against Blackpool on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The technically gifted Owen Farmer had 11 goal contributions in 18 Premier League 2 games\u00a0<\/p>\n Youssef Chermiti – Everton<\/span><\/p>\n Everton are putting a lot of pressure on the shoulders of 19-year-old striker\u00a0Youssef Chermiti, who joined for \u00a315m from Sporting Lisbon this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n The youngster put pen to paper on a four-year deal that had Toffees boss Sean Dyche hailing his ‘raw talent and\u00a0ingredients to be a very good player’.\u00a0<\/p>\n Chermiti scored three goals in the Portuguese top-flight last term and got his first run out for his new club during the weekend defeat to Wolves.\u00a0It is hoped Chermiti will inject attacking potency into Everton’s attack.\u00a0<\/p>\n The travelling Everton support are likely to get their glimpse of that on Wednesday night against Doncaster.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 19-year-old\u00a0Youssef Chermiti joined for \u00a315m and penned a four-year deal with the Toffees\u00a0<\/p>\n Yegor Yarmolyuk – Brentford<\/span><\/p>\n Ukrainian youngster\u00a0Yegor Yarmolyuk is still looking for his first senior start for the Bees since joining in 2022.
