This year, some of them have done quite well in the Premier League. On that note, here's a look at the top players in the league in 2021:
#5 Son Heung-Min (Tottenham Hotspur)
Son Heung-Min has been a key player for Tottenham Hotspur since joining them in 2015. The South Korean's versatility has come in very handy for Spurs, who have been ravaged by injuries.
He has had a great partnership with Harry Kane, scoring and assisting goals galore. What's most impressive about Son is that he has been very effective irrespective of whichever position he has played in.
The 29-year old contributed 27 league goals last season, and has done so ten times this campaign.
Last season, Son helped score a Premier League goal every 209 minutes. His relentless desire to create and produce goals has been key for Spurs in the Premier League.
He has helped turn around games even in the absence of Harry Kane. Nevertheless, he is quite underrated, considering the things he has done for the London club.
#4 Jamie Vardy (Leicester City)
The English striker has been a blessing for Leicester City. Jamie Vardy's goal-scoring ability has done wonders for the Foxes. He played a massive role in them unexpectedly winning the Premier League in 2015-16.
Last season, he was involved in 24 goals in the league, helping Leicester City qualify for Europe. Jamie Vardy has really well this season too, contributing ten goals in just 15 appearances.
His quick pace, amazing positioning and brilliant knack for finding goals out of nowhere make him an invaluable player for the Foxes.
Vardy helped score a league goal every 134 minutes last season. He has turned games around on multiple occasions for the Foxes, who rely on his productivity in front of goal.
#3 Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
The Premier League has some of the finest Portuguese players right now, and Bruno Fernandes is one of them. The attacking midfielder has been a massive player for Manchester United since joining them last year.
With his superb creativity, incisive passes and impressive skills to find goals, Fernandes has been a key player for the Red Devils. The Portuguese maestro contributed 30 league goals last season.
After making a good start to his 2021-22 campaign, Fernandes has seen a slight dip in form, though. His game-play helped create a goal every 115 minutes last season in the Premier League. Although that number is comparatively higher this season, the Portuguese remains a big threat.
When he's on song, it is very difficult to keep Bruno Fernandes from impacting games.
#2 Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
Without a doubt, Kevin De Bruyne is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League right now. There are very few players in the world who can match his vision and execution.
The Belgian midfielder has a wide range of passes under his belt. He has a phenomenal ability to score long-range goals with either foot. Injuries did hamper his game-time last season. Nevertheless, he still managed 18 goal contributions in just 25 Premier League appearances, contributing a goal every 111 minutes.
He helps create almost six shots every league game, which speaks volumes about his ability. City manager Pep Guardiola is heavily reliant on De Bruyne to make a difference. That's because the 30-year old possesses the ability to turn games in his team's favour.
#1 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
No player on this list has had as good a year as Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian winger has simply been outstanding for Liverpool in the Premier League in 2021.
With his mind-boggling dribbling, superb pace, and brilliant ability to score and create, Salah was involved in 27 goals last season. That has only got better this season. He has been involved in 24 goals in just 18 Premier League appearances, contributing one every 66 minutes.
Salah has scored goals in the Premier League out of seemingly nowhere on several occasions, making him unstoppable at times. His form has immensely helped Liverpool remain a strong contender to win the title this season.
The Egyptian is arguably the most effective game-changing player in the Premier League right now.
