If you're looking for someone rapid at LB, Theo Hernandez is your guy.

Age: 22
Position(s): LWB, LM, LB
Club: Brighton & Hove Albion
Value: £33 million (Release clause: £70 million)
Wage: £49,000 a week
It shows how far the club has come under Graham Potter and what he is building that a Brighton & Hove Albion player makes this list.

Owen Wijndal (OVR 79 - POT 84)
Age: 21
Position(s): LB
Club: AZ Alkmaar
Value: £22 million (Release clause: £34 million)

Age: 23
Position(s): LB
Club: Villarreal
Value: £20 million (Release clause: £44 million)
Wage: £25,000 a week
Pervis Estupinan hasn't managed to cement the starting spot at Villarreal just yet.
He is a well rounded LB, with good pace, strength and ability on and off the ball, just don't let him shoot!
Nuno Mendes (OVR 78 - POT 88)
Age: 19
Position(s): LB, LWB
Club: PSG (on loan from Sporting CP)
Value: £25 million
Wage: £7,000 a week
Nuno Mendes is currently on loan at PSG, who have an option to buy the player.

Age: 21
Position(s): LB
Club: Feyenoord
Value: £13 million (Release clause: £20 million)
Wage: £7,000 a week

Age: 23
Position(s): LWB, LM, LB
Club: VFB Stuttgart
Value: £12 million (Release clause: £23 million)

Age: 23
Position(s): LWB, RWB
Value: £12 million (Release clause: £23 million)
Wage: £55,000 a week
James Justin was looking like a real player when he got into the Leicester team, playing across the whole backline, as well as at LM and RM.
