Five promoted players who can impact the Premier League

Much of the talk in the Premier League off-season revolves around the transfer window, and bringing in new players has never been more important for teams freshly arrived from the Championship.

However, newcomers to the top tier Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich City already have plenty of potential in their ranks, and had enough talent to propel them to the Premier League in the first place. So, with that in mind, Coral writers bring you our five picks of promoted players who can make waves.

Here’s who we came up with…

Almen Abdi (Watford)
Hornets hitman Tory Deeney may be the hero of the hour following his excellent goal haul of 21 in the Championship, and Watford will certainly require the striker and skipper’s lethal finishing if they are to survive. However, threat from midfield certainly helps when the chips are down and consistent Switzerland international Abdi is more than able to bring that to the party, having bagged a crucial nine league goals this campaign.

A cool and composed head will be needed in the middle of the park, but can 28-year-old Abdi take it to the next level?

Ikechi Anya (Watford)
According to reports, Celtic are keen to snap up 11-capped Scotland star Anya this summer, with the wily wideman fanning the flames of speculation, having stated: “I don’t ever cut myself off to anything. I am very grateful for the opportunities that are before me. I wouldn’t say no to any sort of league.”

It would surely be a shame for Watford (11/10 with Coral to avoid relegation in 2015/16) should the fleet-footed winger decide to seek pastures new, as the versatile 27-year-old speedster’s raw pace could prove a real asset when attempting to change a game and frighten opposing full backs.
