Rashford, Iwobi And Iheanacho: Which Rising Star Is Making An Impact Dis Season by mailjoelig: 3:20pm On Sep 29, 2016 |
Three of the Premier League‘s major clubs are benefiting from the performances of young stars this season, with Marcus Rashford, Alex Iwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho all catching the eye. The season may only be in its infancy, but already this trio have gone a long way to establishing themselves in their respective club sides. In an age of ludicrous transfer fees and an attitude of spending more money to fix issues, it's refreshing to see three youngsters rise through the ranks and have an immediate impact in the first-team. All three players are excelling in the Premier League at the moment, and don't look out of place alongside their world-class and often grossly expensive teammates. Although all three are attacking players, focused on creating and scoring goals, they have different strengths and weaknesses. With that in mind, Squawka have run the rule over the trio's stats to compare and contrast their strong starts to the season. Goal threat image: http://www.squawka.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/RII-comparison-goals.jpg First things first: how effective have they been in front of goal? Here, as expected, the two Manchester-based players lead the way. Rashford and Iheanacho both play as a forward for their respective sides, and it shows in the stats as they best Iwobi - who's only attempted one shot in the league this season - on goals and shots taken. Rashford has scored 12 goals in 25 matches for Manchester United since making his debut. Remarkably he's the club's top goalscorer in 2016, and as such goals are his main selling point. Since coming off the bench to score the dramatic late winner against Hull City on August 27th, he's gradually become more trusted by Jose Mourinho. While Rashford, due mainly to his pace and the presence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has been deployed wide in a 4-2-3-1 formation, Iheanacho has generally played as a central attacker for Manchester City this season. The Nigerian has found game-time harder to come by this term, but with a player of Sergio Aguero's consistency ahead of him, that's nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, his comparative lack of opportunity make his start perhaps more impressive - he's scored in his last two league appearances, suggesting his impact isn't reduced by the stop-start nature of his involvement.
