1. Erling Haaland (Man City). Haaland and the Blue Man went through an excellent season with a historic treble (Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League). That’s why this season, many skeptical eyes about the Norwegian striker’s desire to play have focused on the individual striker. However, in response to that, Haaland still overcame injury and pressure to score 14 goals up to this point. The goal-scoring instinct is increasingly perfected and that is why, despite many unsatisfactory matches, Haaland’s Man City still cannot be eliminated from the championship race.
2. Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa). Watkins is developing into a top Premier League striker under the direction of coach Unai Emery. At 27 years old, he scored 9 goals this season and only needs 6 more goals to equal last season’s performance. Every day, Watkins is getting sharper and this performance greatly contributes to helping Aston Villa stay in the top 3. Experts are not surprised that Watkins is in the sights of big clubs like Chelsea or MU.
3. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool). Salah’s persistence in the Premier League is also surprising, as people previously described him as a “one-season player”. Of Liverpool’s 39 goals up to now, Salah scored 12 goals and had 7 assists, accounting for half. Those numbers show the importance of the Egyptian star. And although Salah is rumored to be able to go to the Saudi Pro League, people still believe that he will continue to burn his heart out at least this season to help Liverpool regain its glory.
4. Son Heung-min (Tottenham). There is no doubt if anyone considers Son to be an Asian legend in the English Premier League. After Harry Kane left, Son has rediscovered his best form and has a chance to win the Golden Boot for the second time, with 11 goals and 5 assists in the first half of this season. Son Heung-min can even dream of winning the Premier League title for the first time with Spurs if he maintains stability.
5. Douglas Luiz (Aston Villa). Having been unsuccessful at Man City, Luiz is flying high in the Aston Villa shirt. He showed himself to be one of the most comprehensive midfielders in the Premier League. This player has the ability to both prevent attacks and push the team forward with a fiery style. Luiz inspired Villa with 5 goals and 3 assists.
6. Declan Rice (Arsenal). The former West Ham midfielder is said to be worth every penny after his £105m move to Arsenal. Not only does Rice help the Gunners’ midfield become more stable and steely, he also regularly scores important goals that directly bring in 3 points. Experts believe that Arsenal has bought the right person to serve their ambition to take the throne.
