Angel Di Maria

In his debut season with PSG, Di Maria bounced back from a miserable spell with Manchester United by scoring ten goals over the course of the 2015/16 campaign, creating a further 98 chances for teammates. His goal return this season may not read so impressive, but his contributions regarding chances created and assists have been impressive.

His overall quality has shown itself in glimpses at every stage in his career, even in the BPL, outlining that this is no one-trick pony. Di Maria’s refreshing, candid response to criticism regarding his time in England outlines his honesty and good footballing brain, “life in England was difficult, and it isn't easy for a South American. Some people adapt, but for others, it is harder.”

The Argentinian has come a long way since being purchased for 30 footballs by Rosario Central in 1995 as finally looks settled in the heart of France. His current form is steady, and he’s certainly experienced success, while his overall ability seems to be hitting its peak.
