By Michael Potts /

15. Reece Oxford

If Diakhate seems like a risk (he really isn't) and if you're in the market for homegrown English talent, Reece Oxford is your boy. He burst onto the Premier League scene this year with some mature performances for West Ham, so snap him up this year before it's too late. He has very raw hints of greatness, and given time, he is guaranteed to develop into a fantastic midfielder. While his stats may seem underwhelming compared to other wonderkids from around the world, his 17 Determination is the key to unlocking his potential. If you can sign Oxford, do it and watch him thrive.
