45. Jesus Navas, Manchester City
Arrived at the Etihad Stadium last summer from Sevilla and generally impressed with his style as a traditional winger that hugs the touchline.
44. Morgan Schneiderlin, Southampton
The future of this midfielder remains in the balance, but there is no doubting the 24-year-old has been one of the best defensive midfield stars in the league over the past two years.
43. Wojciech Szczesny, Arsenal
Proved most of his doubters wrong last season as the goalkeeper showed he could be relied upon consistently between the sticks and looks set to simply get better.
42. Dejan Lovren, Liverpool
Acquired by the Reds from St Mary’s for £20m as the man tasked with improving their defence, having impressed last term with his performances on the south coast.
41. James McCarthy, Everton
Many raised an eyebrow when Roberto Martinez bought this Irishman with him from Wigan Athletic in 2013, but McCarthy proved to be worth it with his fine displays.
