Top 5: Young stars to watch in the 2016/17 Premier League season

3. Hector Bellerin

Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal have never lacked talented youngsters and right-back Bellerin is no exception.

The Spanish defender was a big part of the Gunners season last year as he made 36 league appearances, scoring once and providing five assists; also making appearances in the Champions League, Community Shield and FA Cup.

The full-back took his chance at Arsenal after injuries to Matthew Debuchy and Callum Chambers, before firmly cemented his place in the first-team.

It is hard to believe that Bellerin is only 21 years of age as he is already considered amongst the strongest full-backs in the league and earned himself a place in Spain’s Euro 2016 squad.

The ex-FC Barcelona defender is certainly one to watch closely.
