The Premier League 2026‑27 season is just around the corner. As clubs prepare, the BBC has identified 20 prospects, one from every club, who could deliver breakthrough performances and offer value to Fantasy Premier League managers.

At Arsenal, Max Dowman—now 16—has already become the league’s youngest scorer. He made his first start last season and is expected to see more minutes under Mikel Arteta, playing both winger and number 10. From Aston Villa, George Hemmings (19) impressed in pre‑season with a goal against Real Sociedad and will look to cement a place in Unai Emery’s midfield. Bournemouth’s 19‑year‑old centre‑half Veljko Milosavljevic has already made seven Premier League appearances and is keen to regain fitness after a knee injury.

Brentford’s 19‑year‑old striker Kaye Furo—signed for £8 m—made his debut in a 3‑0 win over West Ham and is expected to become a key target for Keith Andrews. Brighton has invested £21.5 m in Nigerian winger Zadok Yohanna, who shone in Sweden’s AIK. Chelsea’s Dastan Satpaev—17—has earned praise from Xabi Alonso and already boasts Champions League experience.

Other clubs—Coventry, Crystal Palace, Everton, and more—have their own emerging talents ready to step up. Managers will decide which of these young stars rise to the occasion in the Premier League’s next chapter.
