David Brooks dreamed of playing in the Premier League, but it looked as if it might not happen for him when he was released by Manchester City in 2014 after a decade at the club.Then he joined Sheffield United.6
“You’ve got to keep grounded, my mum and dad wouldn’t let me do that anyway, I think I’d get a clip around the ear, Brooks said on his rise to becoming a Premier League footballer.Chelsea could have done with Brooks parents in defence last Wednesday; its no exaggeration to say they probably would have done a better job stopping him. A clip would have at least resembled a challenge.An assist and another goal, Brooks ran rings around Chelsea in the 4-0 win. It was the latest chapter in one of the seasons success stories.6

His Premier League debut came against Cardiff following a series of impressive showings in pre-season.David deserved to start on the back of that performance and I was really pleased with his contribution,” Howe enthused.Hes young, yes, but hes talented and I think you saw a glimpse of what his potential is. Im really pleased with him.As the season progressed, so too has Brooks. A goal in a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace back in October earned him the clubs Player of the Month award, he also scooped the same accolade two months later. Each time he has scored, Bournemouth have won.Now a sturdy 6ft, Brooks is far more robust, resilience to match the substance. The baby-faced look remains, stubble absent.6
Must be wishing they had signed David Brooks now … would have been the ideal fit. https://t.co/lknRjD6Cyb— Alan Nixon (@reluctantnicko) January 14, 2019Alongside Harry Kane, Dele Ali and Heung-Min Son, Brooks would certainly flourish.In a time when young British talents are seeking solace in the Bundesliga – think Callum Hudson-Odoi and Jadon Sancho – its refreshing to see a club give a youngster the chance to play, to express himself without consequence.Brooks has done so much in such a short space of time and if he has become big-headed, his parents would surely have forgiven him.
