11 JACK GREALISH ASTON VILLA POSITION MIDFIELDER AGE 22

Villa gaffer Steve Bruce has put the midfielder’s excellent performances down to “becoming a man” in the course of conquering his off-pitch troubles, including a freak kidney problem picked up in pre-season. “He is bigger and stronger and he looks a man now – with a dodgy haircut,” chuckled Bruce, who has managed to get a tune out of the local lad who hasn’t always lived up to his billing.
