#3 Florian Thauvin (Marseille)
After a disastrous spell with Newcastle United in Premier League, it would have been easy for Florian Thauvin to be a forgotten name in football. However, since returning to Ligue 1, the Frenchman has reinvigorated his career.
The winger has been on fire for Marseille this season, making 13 goal contributions in 18 Ligue 1 appearances.
Thauvin's ability on the ball makes him a great weapon for any club that would want to sign him.
#2 Angel Di Maria (PSG)
Angel Di Maria is one of the three players on this list who has proven doubters wrong after a failed spell in the Premier League.
The Argentine had a forgettable spell at Manchester United. However, since joining PSG in 2015, he has proven himself to be one of the best players in the world.
Di Maria is yet to make a decision on whether or not to extend his contract with PSG this season. If he chooses not to, it is almost certain that another European powerhouse would be chomping at the bit to secure his signature in June.
#1 Memphis Depay (Lyon)
Rounding out the list is Lyon's Memphis Depay, who joins Florian Thauvin and Angel Di Maria as a player who has gone onto prove his doubters wrong after a failed stint in the Premier League. Depay was another Manchester United flop who came to France and lit up the league.
The Dutchman has established himself as one of the most dangerous players in the world during his time with Lyon. Depay can play anywhere across the frontline and has proven to be an absolute menace for defenses across the league.
This season, Depay has bagged 11 goals and 5 assists in 19 Ligue 1 games, and has easily been Lyon's best player, as they compete with PSG at the top of the league. Depay has garnered huge interest from Barcelona, with the Spanish club having tried to sign the Dutchman during the summer. Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman is said to be a huge fan of his compatriot and is keen to bring him to the Nou Camp in the summer.
