5. Eden Hazard

He hasn’t necessarily been the star of the show this season for Chelsea, with Juan Mata being Chelsea’s best player so far this season. Since his arrival from Lille, for a fee of about £35m, he has scored 8 times from his 23 appearances. He was in my opinion the best player in Liege 1 last season and I’m glad someone brought him to the Premier league. He is the second Belgium talent to feature in this top ten and I’m really excited to see this new young array of talent coming out of Belgium. Hazard is still very young and his speed, agility, skill with the ball and the ability to run rings around a defence is why he is so good. His attacking threat has also been needed, along with Mata’s performance step up, due to the underperforming Torres.

4. Roman Lukaku (Loan)

Probably one of the best loan deals I’ve seen in a while. Lukaku arrived from Anderlecht in 2011 for £13m and didn’t feature at all last season for Chelsea. Since West Brom secured the loan of the Belgium striker from Chelsea he has amassed 13 goals so far and been a key feature to the Baggies successful season.  The young nineteen year old will surely fit straight into Chelsea’s squad next season and is part of the Belgium players that Chelsea continue to loan out, including Courtoius (on loan at Athletico Madrid) and Kevin De Bruyne (on loan at Werder Bremen). The young player is one of those rarities that has that burst of pace along with the strength to wade off the oppositions defence and then the ability to put the ball past the goalkeeper. There is a lot of room to grow and I’m sure he could perhaps be lethal in front of goal and a suitable replacement to Didier Drogba for Chelsea.

3. Santi Cazorla

Brought for an undisclosed fee of around £12m from Malaga in the summer, he has been a great addition to Arsenal. Santi Cazorla is one of those players who have that superb vision and the technical ability to accurately pass the ball from one side of the pitch to the other. He has been a regular feature in Arsenals midfield and provided 11 goals for the gunners this season.  In my opinion he is one of Spain’s best talents along with Juan Mata, but neither gets a look-in compared to Spain’s compact midfield revolving around players from Barcelona and Real Madrid. He has definitely been pulling the strings for Arsenal and been a great player in the absence of Jack Wilshire. I’m really looking forward to seeing the pairing of those two plying together in the foreseeable future.

2. Michu

Now this was definitely a close call between first and second. Michu has absolutely been bargain of the season arriving for a fee of around £2.5m. I was surprised no one else picked up this player with his great performances for Rayo Vallecano last season. The top Spanish clubs seemed to overlook the Spaniard along with the rest of Europe’s best. More so I’m surprised Swansea was able to get Michu’s services for as little as they did. He has supplied Swansea with 15 goals so far from 28 appearances. He has fit nicely alongside Swansea’s other signing of Pablo Hernandez and with Swansea’s style of play. He is a clinical finisher and that is proved with the number of goals he has got so far. He can win balls in the air and add to the build-up play. But most of all you can tell he is enjoying his football at Swansea and has recently came out and said he 

is giving Swansea his full commitment.

1.       Van Persie

The reason I have chosen Van Persie as number 1 is because of the fact he has the key reason why Man Utd have won the title this season or extremely likely to win the title this year.  After he got top goal scorer last season he was the perfect player to add to Man Utd to retake the title from their rivals grasps. RVP has scored 19 goals so far from 26 appearances and there isn’t too much else to say. He is that clinical striker he was last year but now pared with a striking talent (something that he didn’t have at Arsenal), in Rooney, and with Man City not really making any influential signings that have made an impact over the summer and in January it has nailed down Man Uts’ success this season in my opinion.
