Rising Star in the Making
21-year-old Hayden Hackney's winning performance against Chelsea last night showcased his talent and potential. Breaking into the team last season after a loan spell at Scunthorpe, Hackney has proven himself to be a valuable asset in midfield. Manchester United and Tottenham are reportedly interested in the young player, but any potential move will have to wait until the summer.
Other Championship Players Catching the Eye
Jobe Bellingham (Sunderland)
At just 19 years old, midfielder Jobe Bellingham is making a name for himself apart from his famous brother Jude. With similar attributes in terms of physique and maturity, Bellingham has impressed with his performances, particularly in the match against Leicester. His versatility allows him to excel in multiple positions on the field.
Conor Chaplin (Ipswich)
Conor Chaplin has been instrumental in Ipswich's success this season. His pressing, blocks, interceptions, and ball recovery make him a standout player. Despite his impressive contributions, Chaplin has gone unnoticed by bigger clubs. Ipswich's high-pressing style heavily relies on his energy up top.
Leif Davis (Ipswich)
Ipswich's left-back Leif Davis has been a standout performer this season, dominating the left side of the pitch. With nine assists to his name, Davis's attacking numbers are higher than most wingers. If Ipswich fails to secure promotion, Davis is likely to make the jump to the Premier League next season.
Stephy Mavididi (Leicester)
Leicester's Stephy Mavididi has been a star player for the Championship leaders. The winger, who honed his skills at Arsenal, has excelled in English football's second tier. With plenty of pace and an eye for goal, Mavididi has been a key contributor to Leicester's success.
Jaden Philogene (Hull)
21-year-old Jaden Philogene is an ambitious winger with dreams of winning the Ballon d'Or. While he may be a long way from achieving that goal, Philogene has shown promise with his skills and pace. Although he started his career at Aston Villa, Philogene is now impressing at Hull under the guidance of manager Liam Rosenior.
