10 Future Premier League Stars

3. Samed Yesil €“ Liverpool

If the failure by the Merseyside team to bring in a replacement for Andy Carroll has any positives, it is that this 18-year-old prospect from Bayer Leverkusen may get more chances on the pitch than anyone was expecting on his first season. Liverpool have lacked goals this year, with neither Fabio Borini or Luis Suarez notching any strikes from open play. If there is one thing that the German does well it€™s score. At the Under-17 World Championship in 2011, the striker bagged six goals in seven matches. Throughout his entire time with Leverkusen he notched an exceptional 58 goals in 80 appearances, made even more impressive by the fact that he was often playing in youth teams well above his own age. Don€™t expect the new signing to be starting anytime soon though; the threat he brings in front of goal is let down by his slender build. A loan move seems the more promising option at the moment but at 18-years-old Yesil could have a wonderful career in front of him.
