FC Basel's Mohamed Salah celebrates scoring against Chelsea's during their Champions League Group E soccer match at St. Jakob-Park in Basel

Thomas Ince

Blackpool’s top goalscorer (7), most creative player (51 chances) and second best player (Performance Score of 513) throughout the current Championship season.

Make no mistake about it, Crystal Palace have done fantastically well to capture Thomas Ince on loan – although a substantial fee was probably paid as part of the transfer.

Tony Pulis now has the luxury of fitting the former England Under-21 international into his side alongside other January signing Joe Ledley, with both players offering extra dynamism, guile and passing accuracy throughout the attacking third.
