#1.Ayoze Perez
The Spanish forward has dropped down from his original No.9 position and has played as a No.10 this season behind Joselu. Despite starting every game ahead of Diame, he has failed to produce any good performance and has constantly failed to prove his selection.

The major reason behind Perez's failure in the Premier League is his lean structure due to which he has struggled to compete with physically fit defenders in the league. Ayoze Perez holds the unfortunate record of being dispossessed the most number of times in the team.
Perez was finally dropped from the line up in the game against Bournemouth as Rafa switched to 4-4-2 from 4-2-3-1 which saw Perez being replaced by Dwight Gayle. Perez came in as a substitute in the second half and can be regarded as a part of the reason for the loss as he failed to win a header against Cook as the ball flew into the back of the net.
The only positive of Perez this season has been the enormous work rate he has constantly shown in his game which has sealed his spot in the squad. However, Rafa Benitez will certainly be looking to sign a top class number-10 to replace Ayoze Perez in the upcoming transfer window.
