Gary Neville, a former Premier League player, has been keeping a close eye on this season's players and has been pleasantly surprised by some of the lesser-known names making an impact. One player in particular caught his attention - Chris Wood of Nottingham Forest. Currently sitting in fifth place, Nottingham Forest has had a strong start to the season and Wood's goal-scoring abilities have been a crucial part of their success.
Neville also had praise for Ryan Gravenberch of Liverpool, who has been a valuable asset in the team's midfield. This has been especially important for Liverpool after the failed transfer of Martin Zubimendi. Neville also mentioned Liam Delap of Ipswich, who has been another stand-out player with his impressive six goals so far. He also gave a nod to Danny Welbeck and Morgan Rogers for their solid performances.
When asked to rank these players, Neville put Wood in the number one spot, followed by Delap and Gravenberch. Fellow panelist Ian Wright also had some players to highlight, including Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo of Brentford. Despite losing their top scorer Ivan Toney, Brentford has continued to impress with their attacking prowess.
Wright also mentioned Liam Delap and Antoine Semenyo of Bournemouth, as well as Carlos Baleba of Brighton & Hove Albion, who put on an impressive performance against Manchester City. He noted that just two years ago, Baleba was playing for Lille, and now he has become a key player for Brighton.
But it's not just the big names that have caught Neville and Wright's attention. They also praised the lesser-known players such as Wissa and Mbeumo, who have stepped up for Brentford in the absence of Toney. It's clear that this season has been full of surprises and impressive performances from both established players and rising stars.
