#3 Joachim Andersen, Fulham
The Danish centre-back joined Fulham on a season-long loan from Lyon last summer. Despite seeing his club get relegated from the Premier League this weekend, Joachim Andersen has been one of the shining lights for Scott Parker's side.
Andersen has played 29 games for Fulham this season and has impressed several Premier League clubs with his performances. Andersen has the 4th highest clearances in the Premier League, with 145. He has also helped his team keep nine clean sheets this campaign. Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing the Danish centre-back this summer.
#2 Craig Dawson
West Ham United surprised fans and pundits alike when they signed 31-year-old defender Craig Dawson on a season-long loan from Watford in October 2020. The former West Brom man was expected to be behind the likes of Angelo Ogbonna and Issa Diop in West Ham's pecking order.
West Ham signed Dawson to add some experience and solidity to their defense. He has been one of their best players this season. The team have not had a player with Dawson's warrior-like style of defending over the last few seasons.
Dawson has also managed to chip in with three goals in eighteen league appearances for West Ham this season. Hammers boss David Moyes will look to sign the centre-back permanently from Watford this summer.
#1 Jesse Lingard
Acquiring Jesse Lingard on loan from Manchester United in January has turned out to be one of the signings of the season. Lingard failed to make a Premier League appearance for the Red Devils this season before joining West Ham.
Since joining the Hammers, Lingard has rejuvenated his career and has become one of the most in-form players in the Premier League. His nine goals and four assists in 13 Premier League appearances for David Moyes' side has propelled them into fifth place in the Premier League table.
Lingard's current form could earn him a spot in England's squad for the 2021 European Championships this summer.
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed that he is a fan of Jesse Lingard and would like to see the midfielder return to the club this summer. However, it seems likely that Manchester United could look to sell Lingard this summer to make use of his current market value.
