LM: Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace)

Given that Zaha's performances have only been improving with every season, it's a wonder that Palace have managed to hold on to him so far.

With Christian Benteke being out injured for a large part of this season, Zaha has taken up a more advanced role alongside Andros Townsend and has flourished under Roy Hodgson. With the signing of Michy Batshuayi, he's taken up his traditional position again, with no reduction in his output.

The transfer mill continues to link him with a move away from Selhurst Park, with Borussia Dortmund being the latest club involved. Who knows what the future holds?

ST: Raul Jimenez (Wolves)

Raul Jimenez has been an absolute sensation in his first Premier League season. The 27-year-old Mexican was never quite prolific for Benfica but has an impressive return of 12 goals and seven assists this season.

Jimenez has a wide range of skill sets - his finishing is brilliant, he's strong in the air and his link-up play is excellent. Alongside Diogo Jota, he's been a thorn in every defence that has faced him this season.

Wolves wasted no time in securing him on a permanent transfer from Benfica, sealing a deal for a club record £30 million two weeks ago, even before the official completion of his loan spell.

RM: James Maddison (Leicester City)

Maddison spent only one full season with Norwich City in the Championship before Leicester splashed £20 million to sign him last summer.

Transfers from the Championship to the Premier League don't often work out, but Maddison has been a revelation for the Foxes. Playing as a traditional number 10, his vision and creativity have yielded seven goals and six assists this season.

His set-piece abilities also make him a dangerous threat from free kicks, which have been the major source of his goals so far. Still only 22 years old, he's one to watch for the future.
