Our Our Sky Sports Fantasy Football scout looks at which of the Premier League's promising talents are set to deliver

Romelu Lukaku - £8.6m

Like most of the aforementioned players, Lukaku's influence is likely to heavily depend on his exposure to first-team action. The powerful frontman proved he is plenty capable of delivering in the Premier League as he netted 17 times during his loan spell with West Brom last season. That impressive campaign has suitably convinced Jose Mourinho to keep him at Stamford Bridge rather than allowing another spell away. If the Belgium striker can move ahead of Demba Ba and Fernando Torres in the picking order then he has the potential to be one of the league's top marksmen.

Gerard Deulofeu - £7m

Everton fans are getting excited by the loan signing of Barcelona B star Deulofeu and so they should, judging by his displays for Spain in the Under-20s World Cup in Turkey. He is, however, only 19-years-old, so to expect a teenager to take the Premier League by storm is a big ask, though there's no doubt he'll be a useful addition to Roberto Martinez's squad. Although he lacks a little pace, Deulofeu is very much a modern product of Spain with his flawless technical ability and threat from dead ball situations.
