Martial, along with Liverpool midfielder Jordon
Ibe and Arsenal
back Hector Bellerin, have all been nominated for the prestigious Golden Boy award.
And it seems that this year's list has a few Premier League entries as Bellerin and Martial are joined by the likes of Tottenham's Dele Alli, Jordon
Ibe of Liverpool, Aston Villa's Adama Traore and Man United full -
back Luke Shaw.
The emergence of Jordon
Ibe, who impressed when featuring as a wing -
back or in a more advanced role, may also spell trouble for the Serbian international.
How both will fit into the Reds match day squad, if both return, is still a mystery but reports confirm that
Ibe is on his way
back to Anfield.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is
backing youngster Jordon
Ibe to fill the void that has been left by Raheem Sterling «s departure to Manchester City.
Ibe was often deployed as a wing -
back as Rodgers was reluctant to tinker with the 3 -4-2-1 formation that galvanised the Merseyside outfit's season after such a poor start and the Northern Irishman has hinted that the youngster is the natural replacement for Sterling on the flanks:
Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana are likely to be held
back, with Sheyi Ojo and Jordon
Ibe a pair of flying young wingers entrusted with creative responsibilities in the absence of more established names.
Liverpool could theoretically bring
back Ibe without a hitch after learning from their mistake with Divock Origi and inserting a clause into the loan deal that allows them to end it prematurely.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers calls for a sense of perspective after pictures, dating
back some months, emerged of Raheem Sterling and Jordon
Ibe smoking a shisha pipe and a video was released apparently showing Sterling inhaling laughing gas and seemingly passing out.

back and youngsters like
Ibe and Sterling are there in the backup to help in attack.
Sterling's contract wrangle with the club is set to rumble on into the summer, but former Liverpool defender Thommo is excited by the prospect of
Ibe coming
back into the side.
Ibe wasn't creating danger on the right — he was often crowded out and even when he wasn't, he rarely beat the full -
back 1v1.
Ibe came into the Liverpool starting line - up in an unfamiliar wing -
back role in the Merseyside derby in February.
Ibe positioned himself wide of the Stoke block on the right hand side, looking for space to receive the ball and take the full -
back on 1v1.
Martin Olsson tangled with
Ibe and as both confronted one another, Ki barged into the
back of Attwell as he looked to push the Bournemouth winger.
Jordon
Ibe — 7 Was pushed
back to right full -
back by Southampton's attack for a lot of the game, and gave a decent enough defence performance.
Jordon
Ibe and Lazar Markovic were asked to play full
back roles rather than attacking ones, which saw Markovic withdrawn at half time for Alberto Moreno, for whom the left -
back position is more familiar.
Width was maintained in attack, if not by
Ibe and Milner, then by the two full -
backs bombing forward ahead of them.
