Premier League 20-21: Brewster, Gordon can be breakout stars

Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood, Manchester City forward Phil Foden and Arsenal midfielder Bukayo Saka were breakout stars in Premier League last season.

Here's a look at who could follow m in 2020-21 campaign, when clubs might give young players more of a chance while budgets are tight because of effects of coronavirus pandemic:

RHIAN BREWSTER (Liverpool striker, 20)

Brewster has long been tipped as a future England striker  he played on country's Under-17 World Cup-winning team in 2017  and re's doubt he is a natural goalscorer.

In decisive moments, he's 100% re," Liverpool manr Jrgen Klopp said after a preseason friendly in Austria when Brewster scored two goals.

Klopp demands more from his lone striker, however, and Brewster's willingness to scrap for ball and pressurize defenders like first-choice striker Roberto Firmi could be key in wher youngster becomes permanent back-up this season ahe of Divock Origi.

If Klopp still thinks Brewster needs to develop his all-round game, young striker might go out on loan again but this time to a Premier League club. For second half of last season, he played at second-tier Swansea and scored 11 goals in 22 games. He won't be short of takers.

ANTHONY GORDON (Everton winger, 19)

Two years after making his senior debut for Everton in a Europa League match, Gordon finally got a taste of Premier League when Carlo Ancelotti selected him against West Ham in January.

locally born winger stayed in and around squ for remainder of season  starting four of nine games after restart, including a Merseyside derby  and is w pushing to be a regular in Everton's midfield. 

Gordon is a left winger equally at home in a central position behind striker, and he provided Everton with some much-needed creativity in few games he played last season.

re are few shrewder judges than Ancelotti, who has praised Gordon's technical skills and versatility. 

Italian manr has ted success he h as a player at AC Milan in late 1980s when y relied on acemy players. Gordon, it seems, will get his chance and was handed a new five-year deal just last week.

EBERECHI EZE (Crystal Palace playmaker, 22)

One of stars of second-tier Championship last season, Eze was always likely to be leaving Queens Park Rangers in offseason.

It was just a matter of which club from a number of mostly London-based suitors would sign winger whose turn of pace, quick feet and ball-carrying ability helped him get 14 goals and eight assists in 2019-20 season. 

Crystal Palace has taken plunge and in some ways w has a younger version of team's current star, Wilfried Zaha. question is if Eze  born in south London to parents from Nigeria  can thrive under Roy Hodgson at Palace, whose style of play can often be clunky and over-reliant on counterattacks typically led by enigmatic Zaha.

LUKE THOMAS (Leicester left back, 19)

sale of Ben Chilwell to Chelsea for 50 million pounds ($65 million) gives Thomas a chance to make left-back position his own at Leicester  and he has alrey shown he is good eugh to take it, even at of 19. Handed his debut near end of last season while Chilwell was injured, Thomas showed maturity beyond his years as well as an attacking threat to mirror man he is replacing.

Like Chilwell, Thomas has gruated through youth ranks at Leicester  where he was born and raised  and will alrey be on rar of England coach Gareth Southgate. It's quite rise for a player who didn't have a Wikipedia p when he me his debut against Sheffield United in July. 

He has a wonderful view of game  he understands football, Leicester manr Brendan Rodgers said.

ANTONEE ROBINSON (Fulham left back, 23)

English-born U.S. international could easily have been playing at AC Milan this season, only for a deal to collapse when his medical examination at Italian team detected an irregular heart rhythm  an issue later dressed with an ablation.

Inste, half a year later, 23-year-old finds himself back in Premier League with promoted Fulham, this time with an aim of being a first-team starter. 

He came through acemy at Everton but, despite being highly rated and a regular in youth teams, never played for senior team in top division and eventually moved to second-tier Wigan last year. He is an attack-minded left back who firstly needs to displace Joe Bryan  Fulham's two-goal star in Championship playoff final  in starting lineup.
