15. Andrew Robertson – Hull City
The young Scot was only playing third division football in his native country just two years ago, but he has made the transition into a comfortable Premier League regular with consummate ease, despite Hull’s troubles this season.
14. Ashley Young – Manchester United
The England international has been reborn under Louis Van Gaal and his performances have even prompted talk of a recall to the England squad.
13. Francis Coquelin – Arsenal
Coquelin seemed to be on the last helicopter out of Saigon before Christmas as a loan spell at Charlton suggested that his Gunners career was set to come to a close. However, since the new year he has been pivotal to Arsenal’s style, giving others around him the freedom to do what they do best.
12. Fabian Delph – Aston Villa
Delph has transformed from a midfielder able to put in a good performance to one of the best in the league for patrolling the centre of the pitch and driving his team forward. Now a regular starter in the England national team, he has been one of the key factors behind Aston Villa’s drive for safety.
11. Nathaniel Clyne – Southampton
It’s a testament to how well he’s playing that the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea are interested in taking him away from the Saints at the end of the season. Now, like Deplh, well on his way to becoming a regular England international.
