Tyreece Campbell could be heading for PL

Last year he was the favourite scapegoat player of many Charlton fans, but this morning Jamaican international; Tyreece Campbell is the subject of a special feature in the Football League Paper.

The FLP's resident expert Guy Branston has selected Campbell as one of three EFL starlets with Premier League potential.   He stats: 'The kid reminds of the quality wingers we've seen step up from the Championship over the years like Wilfred Zaha.'

'He's rapid, he moves fantastically and he's as slick as anything.  He's already played over 150 games by the age of 22 and I think he's got much more development to come.  He's going to get better and  better.'

Anthony Hayes, who coached Campbell from the age of 13, commented: 'People ask me who's the best young player I've worked with and for many years now I've said the one with the highest potential is Tyreece.  I still think he's only beginning to scratch the surface.'

Steve Avory, who spotted Campbell playing for a Southwark club at the age of nine, commented: 'The thing that always excited me about Tyreece was his ability to manage the ball at close quarters.  He has that one-v-one ability to go past players at speed with the dribble and get into goal scoring positions as a result of it.  And he was always a consistent goal scorer right through the academy journey.'

The article states that Campbell operates as a modern-day inside forward, preparing to use his speed and dribbling ability to cut inside off the left wing and take shots with his right football rather than hit the byline and provide crosses.

'Versus other Championship wide players and attacking midfielders, Campbell ranks in the top six for non-penalty goals, the top four for shot accuracy and the top two for goals per shot,'

'He has the composure and quality to fashion goal scoring opportunities from even low value chances.  For a team like Charlton who rarely dominate possession and take relatively few shots, it is an invaluable quality.'
