EPL 2017/18: Five most underrated players to watch out for?

Ajax Amsterdam v Jablonec - UEFA Europa League: Play Off Round 1st Leg
Riedewald is a star in the making

#1 Roque Mesa

Birmingham City v Swansea City - Pre Season Friendly
A general in midfield

And the player that your eyes should always be fixated upon is Swansea City’s new signing, Roque Mesa. The Spaniard was perhaps the best player outside the top three clubs in La Liga last season.

Mesa is your stereotypical Spanish midfielder, short in stature and a huge bag of tricks up his sleeve. Hailing from Gran Canaria, he is a midfielder in the Xavi mould who creates channels of space with his movement and exploits them with his inch-perfect passes.

He is the ideal midfielder that keeps the tempo of the team ticking. If he flourishes in the Premier League this season, there is a good chance that he will head to Russia next year for the World Cup. And given the way Spanish midfielders have performed in England, there is a good chance of that happening.
