CM - Badou Ndiaye (Stoke City)
Badio Ndiaye has been one of the best signings of the mid-season transfer window and his driving runs from midfield have been Stoke's saving grace this season, even though it was too little too late to save them from relegation.
Ndiaye slotted into the team instantly and scored twice in Stoke's final four matches in their ultimately unsuccessful battle against the drop.
His dynamic displays in midfield have reportedly caught the eyes of PL sides and it would not be a surprise to see him move on from Stoke just five months after arriving.
Stats
Despite arriving in mid-season and playing only 10 games this season, Ndiaye's stats are up there with his peers showing how much of an impact he has had in a short time.
He scored 2 goals and supplied 1 assist making 7 key passes and creating 8 chances with a pass percentage of 83% the best among his peers.
On the other hand, he won 41% of his attempted duels and made 7 blocks and 9 interceptions portraying his box-to-box capabilities.
