4. Jacob Bedeau, 17, central defender

Coming in at number four, we have new January signing, Jacob Bedeau. Before joining Aston Villa, Bedeau made seven first team appearances for League One side Bury. Playing professionally in any league is impressive.

Making seven appearances at the tender age of seventeen is even more so. Bedeau has all the technical qualities to blossom into a class defender at the top flight. While a shade under six feet, Bedeau adds versatility to his game by playing multiple positions across the backline.

The next step for Bedeau is a call-up to an England youth set-up.
