5 of the most overrated players still plying their trade in the Premier League

#1 Francis Coquelin

Francis Coquelin

It baffles the author that Francis Coquelin is still a Premier League footballer who gets regular game time.

Coquelin has played as a right-back, a central midfielder in a two-man pivot, as a holding midfielder, as a centre-back in a back three and has been a loyal servant to Arsene Wenger, but he hasn't been able to be a mainstay in any of these positions, showing his shortcomings technically and with regards to reading of the game.

A player, whose career highlights would involve throwing his jersey along with Olivier Giroud at the end of a 4-4 draw only to realize that there would be extra time following the draw, and tumbling down to the floor after being clobbered by a prancing Eden Hazard en route his famous goal against Arsenal. A player who is yet to register a goal in the Premier League. A player who lost his cool and put his team in jeopardy in a North London derby where he should have considered himself lucky to be on the field, playing at the first place.

Need I say more?

Francis Coquelin is a representation of Arsenal's lack of desire to win which has been criticised in recent seasons and is a product of a very rough period in the Arsenal academy, known for producing technically gifted players. Coquelin should take any big money move he gets from China or the USA with hands wide open and make a move before things go further downhill and humiliating for Wenger and the player himself.
