The Premier League is almost halfway through the 2021-22 campaign and so far it has been an entertaining one. With Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea strongly challenging for the title, it will only get intense as time progresses.

The former Manchester United winger has consistently been a vital player for Crystal Palace in attack. Wilfried Zaha's traits lie in his creativity and ability to beat past players.

#5 Dwight McNeil (Burnley)

The Premier League has seen Antonio Conte return to England, this time as manager of Tottenham Hotspur. Under the Italian's management, many Spurs players are hoping to turn around their form, among which is Lucas Moura.

The Brazilian has struggled with consistency despite being very talented. With his attacking instincts, trickery and pace, Lucas Moura has the ability to be very productive in the attack. With two goals and three assists to his name in the Premier League, the 29-year old has had a decent time so far with a lot of potential to improve.

Lucas Moura can flourish well, especially with the style of play Antonio Conte prefers. The Brazilian has successfully dribbled 39 times this season, as he hopes to revamp his form in the Premier League.


#2 Allan Saint-Maximin (Newcastle United)

Despite Newcastle United's misery in the Premier League this season, Allan Saint-Maximin has been one of their more consistent players. The Frenchman has a lively presence in attack and when on song, he is difficult to contain.

Adama Traore arguably has to be one of the quickest players in the Premier League. With his physique and pace, not many players are capable of stopping him.

The Spaniard has time and again shown how lethal he can be with the ball at his feet yet the numbers have not turned up for him. Adama Traore has terrific dribbling skills, especially with the pace he has.

The 25-year old has successfully dribbled 80 times in the 2021-22 Premier League campaign. It only makes it more surprising that despite such an impressive stat, Adama Traore has failed to register a single assist or goal this season. Nonetheless, it will be of immense help if he can guide Wolves in qualifying for Europe next season.
