Erik Pieters moved to Stoke City from PSV Eindhoven in June 2013, and has adapted well to the Barclays Premier League.
The Netherlands international has been one of the Potters’ shining lights this season thanks to his ability in the air, and competitiveness on the ground.
Only Geoff Cameron comes close to his tackle count of any player in the notoriously pertinacious Stoke team, illustrating the impact he has had.
