5 young stars to watch out for in the Championship

The Championship is loaded with excellent young talent all involved with international set ups and tipped for big futures.

Some of the best young players in the Premier League came from the Championship like Aaron Cresswell who went from Ipswich to West Ham, or Dele Alli who is one of the Premier League's breakout stars after his move from the MK Dons.

The England youth teams are littered with Championship players who all have big futures in the game.

There are plenty of Championship sides who have their U21 side in the Premier League U21 division where they develop and get game time.

Young players not getting a chance in the Premier League often move to a Championship side to get first team football to help relaunch their career, like Benik Afobe did at Wolves last year and after he impressed he now plays for Premier League Bournemouth.

The Championship is a hotbed of young talent all getting first team football and here are the FIVE best young talents in the Championship........

Lewis Cook

The Leeds midfielder is 19, and is a regular starter for Leeds this season under the Evans revolution.

He was heavily linked with a move to Premier League Bournemouth in January, but it never went through.

He plays as a holding central midfielder and he has excellent vision and passing ability for his age and protects the defence majestically.

Racking up over 6o appearances for Leeds he has also represented England at every available youth level, and is tipped for a big future in the game.

Charlie Taylor

The Leeds full back plays on the left side and is renowned for his pace and dead ball ability.

Where he needs to improve his defensive abilities, he is an excellent proposition.

He marauds down the wing and links up with Stuart Dallas well, whilst also having some experience in the England youth setup.

Taylor is also rumoured to be on the brink of signing a new contract at the club along with the other exciting Leeds prospects.

Dael Fry

The young Middlesbrough centre back has been pushed into the first team on a few occasions this season, which is impressive when you consider the Gibson/Ayala partnership is one of the best in the division.

Fry stands at 6 foot tall and is excellent in the air, possessing similar defensive traits to Ayala and is joined by fellow excellent young centre backs Gibson and Ayala.

Fry has also represented England at all available youth levels and Middlesbrough have looked just a s solid with him at centre back.

A man with a huge future in the game.

Andrew Robertson

The Hull left back is one of their brightest young talents, and is currently a regular starter in the promotion pushing Hull side.

He is very pacey and part of the best defence in the Championship, joint with Middlesbrough.

He represented Scotland well at U21 level and is now a regular starter for the Scotland national team and scored his first international goal against England.

The best left back in the Championship at 21, he has a big future ahead of him.
