Eli Junior Kroupi, Igor Thiago, and Nico O'Reilly were among the breakout stars who made their mark on the Premier League last season - but who will be next? BBC Sport's TV and radio commentators have picked 13 players they believe are worth watching out for over the next few months.

Whether they are new signings, wonder kids, or late bloomers, here are some unfamiliar faces of all ages who might make a name for themselves in the new campaign.

• Age: 18, Position: Centre-midfield, Country: Netherlands. In 2025, Steur was awarded the Abdelhak Nouri Trophy, Ajax's annual award for the club's best academy player. Previous winners include Wesley Sneijder, Rafael van der Vaart, Christian Eriksen, and Ryan Gravenberch.
• Age: 20, Position: Midfield, Country: Ghana. Yirenkyi scored a 95th-minute winner for Ghana against Panama at the World Cup. This looks like a potentially shrewd signing for newly promoted Coventry City, even though they have just paid a club record transfer fee of about £25m to sign him from Danish side FC Nordsjaelland.
• Age: 27, Position: Defender, Country: Spain. Mingueza is a product of Barcelona's La Masia academy and made 66 appearances for the club following his senior debut in 2020, before joining Celta Vigo in 2022.
• Age: 17, Position: Striker, Country: England. Madjo will miss the start of the new Premier League campaign after picking up an injury on his competitive debut against PSG.
• Age: 18, Position: Centre-back, Country: Australia. Before moving to Major League Soccer, Herrington played for Brisbane Roar in Australia's A-League.
• Age: 19, Position: Centre-back, Country: Serbia. Milosavljevic is already a full Serbia international and became the youngest Bournemouth player to start a Premier League match when he played against Brighton.
• Age: 19, Position: Centre-midfield, Country: England. Born in Reading to Zimbabwean parents, Nyoni has played for England at every age group from Under-16 to Under-20 since making his Three Lions debut in 2022.
• Age: 20, Position: Left-winger, Country: Ivory Coast. Of the forwards playing in the Bundesliga in 2025-26, Toure ranked first for successful crosses (39) and fourth for both chances created (45) and big chances created (11).
• Age: 19, Position: Midfield, Country: England. Hemmings has played for England at Under-16, Under-18 and Under-19 levels.
• Age: 19, Position: Centre-back, Country: Croatia. Vuskovic broke a five-year record for most aerial duels won in a single match in any of Europe's top-five leagues.
• Age: 18, Position: Winger, Country: England. McAidoo started out in Colchester's youth academy before joining Chelsea in 2019.
• Age: 19, Position: Midfield/forward, Country: Switzerland. Manzambi wanted to be a goalkeeper when he was a boy and grew up idolising Germany legend Manuel Neuer.

What happens at Etihad Stadium this season is something of an unknown post-Pep Guardiola, but as Enzo Maresca assesses the riches he has available, he might just be impressed by the talent of the teenager recruited from Chelsea's academy.

The FA Youth Cup-winning winger looked at home with the senior players on City's Far East tour, with his chances of a regular place on the bench likely to be enhanced if, as expected, Savinho moves on.
