Andre Ayew – Swansea City
HIT
The Ghanaian had been steadily making a name for himself in the French top flight, and has so far managed to build on that and translate his form into the English game. With five goals in 10 games, he is going a long way to ensuring that Swans fans forget all about Wilfried Bony.
Xherdan Shaqiri – Stoke City
MISS
The Swiss international became Stoke’s record signing over the summer, but has looked miles away from justifying his price tag. Injury hasn’t helped, but watching him makes you realise why Bayern Munich and Inter Milan didn’t fight harder to keep him.
