#3 Hakim Ziyech (Chelsea)
After impressing at Ajax during a four-season stint, Hakim Ziyech arrived at Chelsea this summer and has hit the ground running at the Premier League club. At the Eredivisie outfit, the Moroccan international made his name as one of Europe's most creative talents, and he has lived up to this reputation at Stamford Bridge.
The 27-year-old winger has scored in his first two games in all competitions for his new club, following up his goal-scoring debut against Krasnodar in the Champions League with another against Burnley in the Premier League.
In nine games in all competitions this season, Ziyech has had five goal contributions (two goals and three assists).
Frank Lampard has waxed lyrical about his newest acquisition, who has also been called a left-footed Kevin De Bruyne despite being in early days in the Premier League:
"I think he is going to be a big plus for us on the pitch and in and around the pitch I can see it already in the way he has trained and the confidence in the way he has trained with. He can find a pass, and sometimes last season I felt we lacked that when we were playing against low-block defences."
#2 Jack Grealish (Aston Villa)
Jack Grealish has been a standout player for Aston Villa for quite a while. The 25-year-old midfielder played over 30 Premier League games for Aston Villa last season, garnering eight goals and six assists after helping the club gain promotion from the 2018-19 Championship.
This season, Grealish has been in blistering form. He has already scored four times and produced six assists in eight Premier League games. Grealish particularly starred for Villa in their 7-2 humbling of defending champions Liverpool earlier in the season.
Aston Villa manager Dean Smith sounded pleased about the player's involvement in the international break, opining that Grealish could arrive more confident for club duties in the Premier League.
"Hopefully it will give him an awful lot of confidence. The boy didn’t need (to be given) an awful lot of confidence any way as he is a confident player, confident lad."
The 25-year-old is renowned for his dribbling ability and prowess at running at defenders to open up spaces for colleagues further upfield.
#1 Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
Bruno Fernandes has been like a whiff of fresh air, instantly transforming the fortunes of a mediocre Manchester United side since his arrival at the Premier League club in January this year.
The 26-year-old attacking midfielder has conjured almost a goal contribution every game - he has scored 21 goals and provided 13 assists in 35 games in all competitions for Manchester United.
Despite his propensity to concede possession cheaply, which reportedly turned away a lot of high-profile suitors including Manchester United last summer, Fernandes has been at the forefront of everything good about the Red Devils in the Premier League and in other competitions.
The Portuguese international's directness, ability to take on defenders, versatility and set-piece prowess have made Fernandes one of the first names on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's playing XI.
The Norwegian was all praise for Fernandes after the player's brace against Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League when he said:
"He's had a fantastic impact, and you just see how it breeds confidence and it gives other players confidence around him. We know, at any moment, he can create a chance for anyone, so it's for the rest of them to make movements, runs in behind, clever movements, because he'll find you."
