The season hasn’t kicked off yet, but clubs have already made plenty of signings in the transfer window and on that note, some new talents will be on display in August. These players will join a league that already boasts some magnificent quality.
Going into next season here are our best attacking midfield players, that are set to illuminate the league next term.
These five players had an enormous impact on their respective teams’ form last season, and there is no reason why they shouldn’t repeat their antics in the fresh campaign.
3Mesut Ozil
Ozil has been labelled as a new-age Dennis Bergkamp at the Emirates. He’s got all the qualities of the non-flying Dutchman, and while it’s fair to say that Bergkamp is irreplaceable, Ozil comes closest.
The German international collected six Man of the Match awards last season and recorded a mind-blowing 19 assists (best assist tally across Europe’s top five Leagues), six more than Christian Eriksen, and 13 more than the next player from Arsenal in that regard – Olivier Giroud.
Ozil also managed six goals and will continue to be Arsenal’s leading man in 2016/2017. Occupying the number 10 role, his main strengths are key passes, crossing, set-pieces, ball control, and dribbling.
