Steven Gerrard - Arguably the greatest English midfielder of his generation, one of the greatest players ever to wear the Liverpool shirt and a hero amongst the British public. The 30-year-old has been such an exciting figure in our game over the last decade and he continues to turn in remarkable performances for club and country, but it leaves the question - who will replace Steven Gerrard's place on the team sheet when he hangs up his boots?

Well in this piece we will take a browse at some of the most promising young midfielders currently displaying their trade in Europe, players who are presently taking the Premier League by storm and a certain Liverpool youngster who, in my opinion, has the capability to become the club's leading star in a couple of years. Any guesses?

Well whoever can withstand the pressure of filling the void that will be left by the Scouser is going to need broad shoulders, ability to handle the nation's expectations and the confidence to pull Liverpool to glory.

Gerrard has made over 600 appearances for the Reds first team, winning 3 League Cup trophies, 2 FA Cups and a Champions League along the way, plus a host of individual accolades for his extraordinary services to football. He has also appeared over 100 times for England, and although he has not won anything with them, unsurprisingly, he has no question become a national hero.
