David Ozoh

Ozoh combines genuine physical strength with an athleticism unusual in such a young midfielder, letting him win the ball back in the middle of the park through sheer competitiveness. He passes with more composure than his tackling might suggest, looking to find a teammate quickly rather than simply clearing his lines under pressure. He set a club record by debuting so young in the Premier League, a sign of how highly he was rated.

The tension for a player who debuted this early is whether senior football elsewhere teaches him more than staying and waiting for a first team chance would have. Regular minutes away from Selhurst Park have let him make mistakes and learn from them without the same scrutiny a Premier League appearance would bring. Watch how ready he looks physically when a real opportunity returns. The tools have never been the question, only the timing.
