1st Division Prospects

Dean Ashton(Crewe)... The youngster is probably the most valuable in the division after Jenas left for Newcastle. The 18 year old has already been linked to clubs such as Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa for fee's reaching up to £8million. Since breaking into the first team at the age of 17 he scored 8 goals in13 games to help Crewe avoid relegation and this season 9 goals in 30 games, only recently knocking them in after a barren spell. Dean has played once for the England U-17s scoring once and played 3 times for the U-18s scoring twice.

Shaun Wright-Phillips(Man City)... Keegan once stated 'Wright-Phillips will play for England'. The adopted son of Ian Wright, former England striker, broke onto the scene of City in 2001 when they were relegated. His lightening pace scares the hell out of defenders and even if he does get tied up in the defenders he's got the skill to go round them all. He's scored 5 goals for City in the 2001-02 season and really does have a rpomising future wheather it's with City or not. The right sided winger hasn't played for England U-21s suprisingly.
