5. Brenan Johnson – Nottingham Forest

The season started disappointingly for Nottingham Forest, despite 20 summer reinforcements and spending over 160.000.000 euros. They opened the Premier League with only one win and as many as seven losses in the first 11 league games. It seemed that the Foresters, despite the huge investments, could return to the Championship quickly, but in the first matches in 2023 N. Forest took off the shackles of the strangler and completely freed himself from the fear of relegation.

The promising striker’s rise in form has coincided with a series of impressive performances for Forest. Steven Cooper’s team won 11 out of a possible 15 points in the last five matches, and the 21-year-old Welshman Brenan Johnson was directly involved in the last five goals of his team. This young prospect is a product of Nottingham Forest’s academy and at the moment he is becoming the main player of the team in the fight to avoid relegation.

4.Fabio Carvalho – Liverpool

Fabio Carvalho became the desire of a large number of English clubs after a successful season in Fulham, which he crowned by winning the Championship, and the young Portuguese who grew up in England agreed on a transfer with Liverpool in May 2022. The 19-year-old offensive midfielder joined the Reds last summer. Carvalho played a key role in Fulham’s return to the Premier League. He scored 10 goals and recorded eight assists in 36 games.

3.Mukhailo Mudryk – Chelsea

In the last winter transfer window, the Blues proudly boasted about what all the relevant sports media reported for some time. Mukhailo Mudryk (22) is the new player of the London club! The young offensive player became the most expensive Ukrainian, the best sale of Shakhtar, i.e. the second biggest winter deal in the history of football (after Filipe Coutinho), and the second biggest purchase of a two-time European champion (after Romelu Lukaku). Mudryk is a player who plays on the left wing, from where he likes to enter the middle, and he is decorated with fantastic dribbling and the first touch with the ball. He scored 12 goals in 44 appearances for Shakhtar, and set up 17 of them.

Already a year ago, videos of a Ukrainian young man doing incredible things with a ball on the field and in training, but he is equally skilled with a tennis ball, oranges or even chewing gum, went viral on the Internet.

Garnacho arrived at Manchester United two years ago from Atletico Madrid. He excelled in the young team of the Red Devils and was quickly transferred to train with the first team. He was among the reserve players in several Premier League games, and against Chelsea he got the opportunity to make his debut, taking advantage of the fact that Rangnick who was manager then could not count on seven first-team players. Garnacho has become an important figure on the pitch under Eric ten Haag, and this season he has already made 25 appearances in all competitions, scoring three goals and adding four assists. His good performance quickly attracted the attention of clubs such as Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich. And he is only 18 years old.
