8) Nathan Redmond (Norwich City)

You can't help thinking that Nathan Redmond is better than Norwich are allowing him to be - at Southampton he would be thriving, while at Norwich he is barely surviving as the only player with any semblance of pace. The good news for Redmond is that he is only 19 and there's plenty of time for him to work under a more imaginative and attacking manager (we were amused but unsurprised at a magazine article featuring a youthful Hughton with the headline 'Less attacking - more success'). For now he often looks Norwich's best chance of something approaching invention, with his spot at the top of their Premier League assists chart (albeit with only three) proving some evidence that a little bit of invention and dynamism can work better than just throwing in cross after cross (we're looking at you, Robert Snodgrass).
