BPL Young Player of the Year Shortlist Through Tony's Eyes ...

So you’ve read my Player of the Year prediction now here’s my Young Player of the Year prediction... the two Manchester new boys in Memphis for United and Sterling for City and as a real wildcard the young solid Frenchman Kurt ‘Happy’ Zouma.

So first up Memphis, he has come to the premier League off the back of a sensational year for PSV, winning the title for the first time in seven years and been top goal scorer in the Eredivisie, bags of pace, a real eye for goal and trickery to entertain the Old Trafford faithfully, inheriting the famous number 7 from the disappointing Angel Di Maria, the stage is set for Memphis  after a slow and sluggish start but the best is yet to come from the young Dutchman and I hope he makes it his own that’s why he’s my number one contender for the award.



Second, the £49 million signing of Raheem Sterling, many eyebrows were raised when Manchester City shelled out the enormous fee for the 20 year old, as he show a Liverpool Sterling can be one hell of a player with ball at his feet, frighteningly electric pace, can dribble through the tightest of gaps and has a keen eye for a pass. Playing with the likes of David Silva, Yaya Toure and Sergio Aguero are only going to improve Sterling and take him to the next level.



And finally the wildcard Kurt Zouma, I’ve not just included Zouma cause his middle name is happy, I’ve included him because I really think he has a real shout with Chelsea leaking goals left, right and centre at the minute and with questions over how reliable John Terry and Gary Cahill actually are, why couldn’t Zouma win the award, we saw last year how good Zouma was playing at the back or even in midfield, around Chelsea, Zouma’s compared to French legend Marcel Desailly, both as strong as an ox, can read the game well and for centre backs are both very quick off the mark. With Chelsea’s Centre backs looking a little slow and sluggish why isn’t Zouma the answer.



So here’s my Young Player of the Year nomination, let me know what you think.
