Joao Teixeira (Brighton and Hove Albion)
Despite breaking his leg, the 22-year-old was outstanding for Brighton this year, and was voted their Young Player of the Year. He also finished as their top goalscorer, despite playing as a midfielder. His creativity helped take the Seagulls away from the Championship’s bottom three.
His injury has probably meant that his development has taken a step back, but if he can enjoy another loan spell, then he could get back on the right track to becoming a player who can make an impact for us.
Grade: A-
Andre Wisdom (West Bromwich Albion)
Under Alan Irvine, Andre Wisdom was a key member of the Baggies’ defence. However, he harshly became something of a scapegoat for their struggles, with Tony Pulis dropping him for the latter half of the season.
Nonetheless, he did make a couple of appearances in April and May, including in the surprise win against Manchester United at Old Trafford. The experience of featuring in the Premier League should mean that he is ready to be called upon should Brendan Rodgers wish to next year. He also signed a new four-year deal upon his return from the Hawthorns, as The Daily Telegraph reports.
Grade: B+
