Manchester United and Chelsea Dominate the List

Troy Deeney, former Watford striker and Premier League expert, has identified six under-23 players to watch in the Premier League this year. Surprisingly, both Manchester United and Chelsea each have two starlets on the list, despite their lackluster performances this season.

Michael Olise - Crystal Palace Winger

Deeney is particularly excited about Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise, praising his explosiveness, tight control, and goal-scoring ability. Olise has caught the attention of legendary manager Arsene Wenger, who considers him one of the best young talents in the game.

Cole Palmer - Chelsea Striker

Deeney doesn't hold back in his praise for Cole Palmer, describing him as not only one of the best in England, but one of the best on the planet. Despite leaving his boyhood club Manchester City, Palmer has proven his worth and looks set for another amazing year at Chelsea.

Levi Colwill - Chelsea Centre-Back

Levi Colwill, a Chelsea centre-back, is another player to keep an eye on, according to Deeney. With his strength and speed, Colwill has impressed both at the Under-21 Euros and during his time at Chelsea, and he's tipped to become one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League.

Rasmus Hojlund - Manchester United Striker

Despite Manchester United's struggles, Deeney believes Rasmus Hojlund is worth watching this year. The Danish striker may not have many Premier League goals to his name yet, but his sharpness, responsiveness, and finishing skills make him a threat to defenders.

Harvey Elliott - Liverpool Midfielder

Harvey Elliott has developed under Jurgen Klopp and has proven his critics wrong with strong performances for Liverpool. Deeney sees him as an asset to the team and predicts that it won't be long before he receives a call-up to the senior national team.

Kobbie Mainoo - Manchester United Midfielder

Kobbie Mainoo has been a standout player for Manchester United this season. Despite facing an injury setback, Mainoo has impressed fans with his potential and ability to fill big shoes. Deeney believes he makes United a better team when he's on the pitch.

Jobe Bellingham - Sunderland Midfielder

Jobe Bellingham, the younger brother of Jude Bellingham, is making a name for himself at Sunderland. Known for his physicality, ball control, and eagerness to learn, Bellingham is expected to attract attention from bigger clubs in the near future.

With these talented young players making their mark in the Premier League and Championship, it's clear that the future of English football is in good hands.
