Paulinho (Barcelona)
Many, including the Cules, frowned when they came to know that their club were signing a player from the Chinese Super League for €40 million. Not just a player, but a 29-year old one who flopped spectacularly at Tottenham. His arrival was soon written off as a ‘waste of money’ by many fans.
Few remained hopeful when he joined the club, and you all know what happened then. Paulinho truly has been a revelation for Blaugrana. He has already given a number of astonishing performances, and transformation from his days in White Hart Lane left many in awe of his fighting spirit.

The Brazilian midfielder has scored 8 goals and assisted other 2 from 18 league appearances so far. Despite starting just 11 of them, he is also one of the top scoring midfielders in Europe's top 5 leagues this season.
With Paulinho continuing to impress, Barcelona remain unbeaten in the league this season with a comfortable 9-point lead over second-placed Atletico Madrid. His price tag might be still questionable, but he has surprised both fans and critics alike.
