Alex Song (West Ham United / Barcelona)
He might have been snubbed by by Barcelona, but the former Arsenal midfielder has proved his quality at West Ham so far this season. Song spent two years with the Spanish giants and struggled to make his mark, but his combative style is arguably more suited to the Premier League.
The former Cameroon international is best known as a defensive midfielder, but he’s proved this term that he’s capable of playing further forward as well. His passing range is impressive, while he remains strong in the tackle.
