1. Toby Alderweireld (Tottenham Hotspur)
Spurs secured his service from Athletico Madrid after grabbing him from under the nose of Southampton where player endured one season in loan, forcing saints to go for legal action against the transfer. Keeping aside the controversies, Toby emerged as one of the best central back in the Premier League this season. It seems 11.5m pound paid for him was worth every penny for Spurs. 2 goals, 3 assists, 7 clean sheets with just only 1 Yellow card so far and as a result Spurs have the best defensive record in league so far. His diagonal cross assist for Delle Alli in an equalizer against Everton was a treat to watch resulted in a sarcastic chant by fans “Are you Andre Pirlo in Disguise ?”. Spurs fan are hoping the Belgian will be a key figure for them to finish it top 4 finally, or for a surprise title race.
