Kevin De Bruyne | £12.0m

Up next is the two time Premier League player of the season, Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian was a vital part of Manchester City’s title winning team last year. De Bruyne registered 15 goals and 8 assists in 30 appearances last year.

Despite City having a rotational squad, De Bruyne tends to be a main stay when he’s healthy. This means he should see plenty of minutes over the course of the season. It’s also promising that City had the most clean sheets and goals scored in the 2021/22 season.

Son Heung-Min | £12.0m

Son Heung-Min has been voted Tottenham’s player of the year three of the last four seasons. When you look at the numbers he puts up, it’s not hard to see why. The South Korean winger scored 23 goals and made 7 assists last season. This tied him with Mo Salah for the golden boot.

Son has the skill to run at defenders and take them on. His partnership with striker Harry Kane has also proven to be one of the most powerful in the Premier League.

Dejan Kulusevski | £8.0m

Dejan Kulusevski arrived mid-way through last season from Juventus. In 18 games, Kulusevski was able to notch 5 goals and 8 assists. This was especially impressive, considering a lot of his contributions were made coming off the bench.

Having displayed his abilities at the end of last season, Kulusevski will likely be a starter for Tottenham this year. Manager Antonio Conte is a big fan of the Swedish winger, and he’ll be looking to develop him more this season. Having already combined well with Kane and Son, look for Kulusevski to contribute a lot more this season.
