Englands second tier is spoilt for choice when it comes to young talent.Here, talkSPORT.com looks at 10 Championship wonderkids who are destined for Premier League stardom.

Harry Wilson (Derby, on loan from Liverpool)Age: 21Position: Winger

Wilson is being tipped to replace Adam Lallana in the Liverpool squad next season and its easy to see why. The Wales international has been Derbys standout performer since joining on loan from Liverpool in the summer.11

Harry Wilson has a wicked left foot

Hes got eight goals in a Rams shirt already and is becoming renowned for scoring screamers – his 30-yard free-kick helped knock Manchester United out of the Carabao Cup in September.If he can maintain his red-hot form and be part of a promotion-winning team, theres no reason why he cant stake a claim for a first-team place at Anfield next year.

Dean Henderson (Sheffield United, on loan from Manchester United)Age: 21Position: Goalkeeper

Henderson was rewarded with a new two-year deal at Manchester United in June following his impressive performances for League One club Shrewsbury last season.He has stepped up a division with Sheffield United and has looked at home in Englands second tier. He has played every minute of the Blades Championship campaign and put in a man of the match display against Rotherham last month.11

Dean Henderson is starring for Sheffield United

Despite his mistake costing Chris Wilders men a point against Leeds on Saturday, he has played a huge role in their promotion push so far.

Ezri Konsa (Brentford)Age: 21Position: Centre-half

Hes already being linked with a move to Arsenal having played just 20 times for Brentford. Konsa, an England Under-21 international, is viewed as one of the best ball-playing defenders in the Championship.The Bees are renowned for selling their young stars, and Konsa could be the next one to go.11

Ezri Konsa has been a regular for Brentford this season

His ability to play as a centre-half, full-back or defensive midfielder could appeal to Premier League clubs.

Tammy Abraham (Aston Villa, on loan from Chelsea)Age: 21Position: Striker

Abraham has reignited Villas promotion charge under Dean Smith, netting 11 goals in 14 Championship games. Four of those strikes came in a 5-5 draw with Nottingham Forest last week.He endured a tough loan spell at Swansea last year as the Welsh club were relegated to the Championship. However, he is still only 21 and will surely get another crack in the Premier League.11

Tammy Abraham has scored seven goals in his last four games

Chelsea fans have even pleaded for boss Maurizio Sarri to recall Abraham and start him ahead of misfiring Alvaro Morata.

Dael Fry (Middlesbrough)Age: 21Position: Centre-half

Ben Gibsons 15million departure to Burnley in August has increased Frys playing time this season. He has been a regular alongside Aden Flint and showed his versatility by occasionally slotting in at right-back.11

Dael Fry has come through the ranks at Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough have the meanest defence in the Championship, conceding just 13 goals in 20 games, and reported Liverpool target Fry has more than played his part in that.

EberechiEze (QPR)Age: 20Position: Attacking midfielder

Despite extending his contract until 2021 in August, Eze is attracting interest from Tottenham.His three goals and three assists have helped steer QPR away from the relegation zone after a dreadful start.11

Eze is one of the first names on Rangers’ team sheet and his creativity and flair would suit Premier League football.

Mason Mount (Derby, on loan from Chelsea)Age: 19Position: Attacking midfielder

Mount is one of Chelseas most exciting youngsters. He scored five times in his first 11 appearances for Derby, but hasnt found the net since September. Niggling injuries have played a part in his barren spell, though.He remains a regular starter under manager Frank Lampard, whose Derby side are outside the top six on goal difference.11

Mason Mount is destined to play for England

His early season form resulted in a shock call-up to the senior England squad in October, a sign that Gareth Southgate thinks he can play at the highest level.

Jarrod Bowen (Hull)Age: 21Position: Winger

Bowen netted 15 Championship goals as Hull narrowly avoided relegation last season. Its been a similar struggle for the Tigers this term, as they are just two points above the drop zone.The winger, who has been tracked by Everton in the past, scored twice in Hulls 3-2 win over QPR on Saturday, their first victory in four games.11

Hull can’t afford to lose Jarrod Bowen

He is vital to Hulls survival hopes and the club could face a fight to keep him in January.

Harvey Barnes (West Brom, on loan from Leicester)Age: 20Position: Attacking midfielder

Barnes shone during a loan spell for Barnsley in the Championship before being recalled by Leicester in January. He was restricted to just five senior appearances in the second half of last season as Foxes boss Claude Puel opted for experience over youth.11

Harvey Barnes is an England Under-21 international

He has picked up where he left off in England’s second tier by starring for West Brom. He has been involved in 11 league goals, scoring eight and assisting three.When he gets a proper chance in the Premier League, it feels like hes going to take it.

Neal Maupay (Brentford)Age: 22Position: Striker

Maupay is the Championships second-highest scorer with 13 goals a record that is even more impressive considering Brentford sit in 17th place.A run of just one win in 15 games hasnt stopped the striker, who has found the net five times during the Bees alarming form.11

Neal Maupay celebrates scoring the opening goal in Brentford’s 3-2 defeat to Sheffield United last week

Goal-shy Premier League duo Newcastle and Huddersfield have been linked with Maupay and given their precarious position – Brentford must do everything they can to keep him next month.All stats correct as of 04/12/18
