5 biggest Premier League let downs this season

#3 Mohamed Elyounoussi (Southampton)

Elyounoussi has rarely appeared for Southampton in recent weeks

Elyounoussi was Southampton’s big money buy this summer, when they paid Basel £16 million for his signature, and there were hopes that the winger would make a big impact. He was involved more towards the beginning of the season under Mark Hughes, yet he struggled to really have an effect on games.

Since Ralph Hassenhuttl took over at St. Mary’s however, he has been constantly left out of the side, and we have hardly seen him in the league since the start of the year.

Overall, he has started just seven games in the Premier League all season, and made a further eight appearances from the bench. Of those seven games he has started, he has been subbed off on five occasions.

He simply hasn’t delivered while on the pitch, failing to score, and not providing a single assist. It looks like he’s got a lot of work to do if he is to win back the trust of Hassenhuttl. It can take players a while to adapt to English football, it’s just a matter of whether Elyounoussi is given the time he needs.
