I am looking forward to seeing Raheem Sterling develop...

He looks to be an exciting player

I would say Hazard and Cazorla are the biggest ones to watch at this point.

I like Sterling. It will definitely be interesting to see how he develops. LOTS of potential.

Definitely have to watch Javi Martinez this year. Bayern just spent Chelsea money to get him. He better be special.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Sahin translates to the English game, especially with Lucas being out again

I know that I tend to focus on Bundesliga players but man I think y'all got a great player on loan. Good passer, very smart, good free kick taker, should be able to link up very well with Gerrard and Joe Allen. I'll be excited to watch that trio.

I'll also be interested to see how Modric fits in at RM. Does he have a big year and take some of the pressure of CR7 or does he get lost in the shuffle?

Lorenzo Insigne -- Napoli (ATT, Italian, 21)
Insigne starred with Marco Verratti under Zeman at Pescara on loan in their promotion campaign last year. Already being hyped with Mattia Destro and Balotelli as the new generation Italian NT attack, Napoli's hopes for a top three finish may depend on how well he replicates Lavezzi's production.
Luis Muriel -- Udinese (ATT, Colombian, 21)
His pace and finishing during his loan to Lecce have him back at Udinese and under the tutelage of Guidolin. They'll need him to contribute heavily to avoid a free fall down the table and out of Europe competition after 2 years of heavy selling.
Victor Ibarbo -- Cagliari (ATT, Colombian, 22)
Cagliari looks to stay out of the relegation zone if this physically imposing striker can live up to his promise after a year of adjustment to Serie A.
Ciro Immobile -- Genoa (ATT, Italian, 22)
If Immobile keeps up his torrid scoring pace from Pescara, Genoa may surprise some folks and Juve may regret courting Europe's big names instead of simply calling back his loan.
Stevan Jovetic -- Yeah, certainly to watch since Fiorentina's surrounded him with some decent talent but he's already "arrived" and then some.
And, of course:
AS Roma's attack (or most of the squad actually): The youth movement enters it's second year with a lot of young talent. Expect some rocky roads but there's some potential stars about to burst onto the scenes:
Mattia Destro (Italian, 21), Nicolas Lopez (Uruguayan, 18) and Erik Lamela (Argentinian, 20) in the attack as well as Panagiotis Tachtsidis (DMF/Regista, Greece, 21) and Dodo (RB, Brazilian, 20). I'd also watch Pjanic and Osvaldo as both are established but could take the next step into the elite at their positions.

you see Eduardo Vargas getting much playing time for Napoli? He was an exciting player in Chile and hope he makes the transition in Europe..

Hard to say but probably not a lot outside of Coppa and Europa matches as he'll be be behind Cavani, Insigne and Pandev for the 2 spots up front. I don't think Mazzari likes him that much as there's been rumors that he doesn't have a great attitude about working defensively in the pressing system. Vargas seems to have requested a loan (to Genoa) but Napoli look to be keeping him for now.

Googled him. Looks like a greasy Italian douche if I've ever seen one (and yes, I've seen many).
