New faces.

Less than a month to go to the start of the season in the Premier League. And Premier League clubs are starting an intense pre-season. Particular attention is paid to the so-called “Big Six” clubs. Of course, almost everyone follows the leaders, the newcomers. However, tight pre-season tournaments are also good because young players can open up there.

There are often cases where it was a brilliant match in the pre-season which allowed the pupil to reserve a place in the main team and become a prominent figure in the top club for the entire season. Therefore, we offer a list of young players who are worth paying attention to and evaluating their potential during the Big Six preseason matches.

Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United)

Hello Manchester United Struggling to be strengthened by notorious newcomers, the club’s fans can rejoice in the 18-year-old Argentinian. He already has a call-up for the Argentine national team, a training experience with Lionel Messi and even a debut in the first team. Garnacho scored a brace in the FA Youth Cup final and followed the path of Rashford and Scholes to win the United Young Player of the Year award.

Two years ago, the winger moved from Atlético Madrid to Manchester United for 420 thousand pounds, preferring Manchester to Borussia Dortmund. Garnacho’s idol was Cristiano Ronaldo. Given the current situation of the Portuguese and his desire to leave the team, Alejandro can cheer up the fans and become their new favorite. Erik ten Hag’s experience in discovering young talent is also optimistic.

Charlie Patino (Arsenal)

Mikel Arteta is looking to build a strong squad and the £ 45m signing of Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City is impressive. But Arteta added Saka and Smith-Roe to the squad, who are already playing an important role. This speaks of the coach’s desire to rely on his own youth. So we can expect new discoveries in this direction. Patino could be the next such player.

The Gunners Academy graduate quickly wowed fans when he scored on his senior League Cup debut last December. Arsenal won the battle of Patino in 2015 for a reason, ahead of Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester City. Successful work in this direction could be the key to Arsenal’s return to its former positions. Sack and Smith-Rowe’s experience should inspire Patino and reassure the fans.

Harvey Vale (Chelsea)

Chelsea’s top academy player showed good form last season and has already deserved to be included in the first team squad. The Blues is now in a period of change and often brings such young artists to the fore: they have room for a breakthrough. Reece James and Mason Mount have been through Chelsea youth teams that will motivate Vale and his peers. Vale, 18, even looks like Mount. On tour he will try to show that he deserves more chances in the first team.

Thomas Hill (Liverpool)

The Reds had a fairly active summer campaign, signing Darwin Nunes, Fabio Carvalho and Calvin Ramsey. There were attempts to take Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund, but Jurgen Klopp turned them down, saying the player was simply not available. There has been speculation that Liverpool have yet to look for a boost in midfield, but Klopp sees the possibilities of the closest substitute very well.

And the coach’s lack of desire to make a star in midfield at all costs motivates those young people who expect to make it to the first team. Hill is one of them. He needs to impress in the coming weeks. Thomas has gone through virtually every level of Liverpool academy and is now one step away from making his dream come true. If successful, it will be a powerful and beautiful story for all fans.

Kaiki (Manchester City)

This is not about the academy, but about a promising player who needs to show himself in the preseason. Kaiki was acquired in April 2021 by the City of Fluminense for 8.5 million pounds, already showing high hopes. The 19-year-old winger has been compared to Neymar and has been followed by Liverpool and a number of Spanish clubs.

And now Kaiki has both a competitor and a potential model nearby: Erling Haaland. Kaiki made his senior debut last season in an FA Cup game before playing against Norwich in the Premier League a month later. There are a lot of stars at Etihad, so the Brazilian will have his main chance during the pre-season. And the future practice of him depends on it.

Harvey White (Tottenham)

White, 20, has not yet made his Premier League debut, but will have a chance to shine in the pre-season. For the main Spurs team, he has already played in the Europa League and the FA Cup. This is a fairly versatile player, good in both attack and defense, so the potential and flexibility are high: it is important to direct everything in the right direction and, perhaps, specify his role and duties.

Zidane Iqbal (Manchester United)

The very name of this player is very demanding and pressure. And the coaching staff believe in him, which led to the signing of a contract with a 19-year-old player until 2025. It happened in June, six months after his Champions League debut against Young Boys. He was born in Manchester but plays internationally for Iraq, where he is his mother. He joined United at the age of nine and signed his first professional contract last year. As part of the under 23 team, Iqbal played 16 games last season, scoring two goals.

Tino Anjorin (Chelsea)

And of course, you can’t help but keep an eye on this 20-year-old player, who may be familiar to someone from a short visit to Lokomotiv. He also had experience on loan at Huddersfield, with Southampton showing interest in him. However, Chelsea did not agree to sell Anjorin, seeing great potential in him.

Interestingly, he made his debut in the main Blues team a long time ago: in September 2019 he played in the League Cup, but then he was looking to train in other teams. As we know, Chelsea do not hesitate to get rid of the players by putting them on loan, but this time Angiorin was taken on tour. United States of America. It seems to be a sign of trust and an opportunity to challenge yourself.
