Five influential players in Southampton’s stunning start to the Premier League season

3. Adam Lallana

The 25-year-old Englishman has been a revelation so far this season with his sharp attacking play and his brilliant contribution on the defensive side as well. He has started all of Southampton’s games so far in the league and has already racked up two goals and two assists, a tally which is only going to increase, as the season progresses. His interceptions and his ability to press from the front, has been a major feature of Southampton’s play this season. His 81% pass percent is a testament to the fact that when he has the ball, he makes the best use of it.
