Stoke City’s wonderkid is the Premier League 2 top goalscorer, he’s only played 5 games out of 20

Stoke City have had a pretty miserable time of it since returning to the Championship in 2018.

The Potters haven’t ever threatened promotion, despite the initial years of parachute payments, and now find themselves closer than ever to relegation.

Mark Robins took over in January, but the ex-Coventry boss has struggled to get the club clear of trouble.

They’re currently sitting in 20th place, just two points above the relegation zone, with five games to go.

Opta has Stoke down as having a relatively slim chance of being relegated, with 48 points being seen as enough to stay up.

They’re currently on 42, so just two wins should hopefully ensure survival for the Potters.

This is despite Stoke City being told relegation to League One could actually be a good thing.

It’s hoped that a full pre-season with Robins in charge could help build Stoke back up and reverse the slump, and there’s definitely hope to be had with one of their most exciting youth prospects.

Emre Tezgel is Premier League 2 top goalscorer having played just five games

Stoke City’s 19-year-old wonderkid Emre Tezgel has managed to score an impressive 11 goals in just five games in the Premier League 2.

He jointly holds the top goalscorer spot with Chelsea’s Donnell McNeilly, who’s played 17 games – 12 more than Tezgel.

The striker also won Premier League 2’s March Player of the Month for his efforts.
