#2 Naby Keita (Liverpool)
Much was expected from the Guinean international following his long-awaited move from RB Leipzig.
Trending
The versatile midfielder had been on Jurgen Klopp's radar for a while now and after protracted negotiations, a £53 million deal was agreed in January last year with the player joining in the summer.
It has not been a happy first season in the Premier League for the 24-year-old. His explosive mix of strength, technique, intelligence, and stamina meant he was seen as the glue to knit the attack and midfield together.
It has not panned out as planned, as injuries and struggles for form have seen his game time limited, while fellow summer signing, Fabinho, has become a crucial part of the team after taking a while to bed in. Keita has been in-and-out.
He has played a peripheral role in the team's title charge with 25 appearances in all competitions (14 as starts). He has recorded no goal or assist, and will be eager to press the reset button on this campaign.
