The Premier League is home to some of the best teams in the World, alright, they might not have done well in the Champions League but you cannot deny the fact that Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United are not some of the strongest teams in the World. You could add Tottenham and Liverpool to that list as well but the fact remains that these teams often have the best players in the league.
Some other clubs also have certain players who go above and beyond their capabilities and we are looking at a few players who aren’t household names but could easily move to a top four club and make a difference there.
Sadio Mane
The Southampton winger broke into the limelight after his hat-trick in the Premier League, Mane scored the fastest hat-trick in the history of the Premier League against Aston Villa, the 23-year-old Senegalese winger enjoyed a fantastic first season with Southampton and will be looking to a new season, as he tries to show that this season was not a flash in the pan. He has already been linked with a big-money move to Arsenal as teams try to sign the winger before any of their rivals do.
Adrian
One of the most impressive goalkeeper’s last season, Adrian was one of the main reasons as to why West Ham were riding high after a quarter of the season had gone by. The 28-year-old goalkeeper isn’t a household name in any way but he could provide a great option to any top four side thanks to his goalkeeping ability. His performances might have dipped in the second half of the season but that shouldn’t deter any team from making a move for him. He played all the 38 games for West Ham in the league this season, not bad for any player.
Joel Ward
The unknown player from Crystal Palace enjoyed one of the best seasons in his career as he helped keep Crystal Palace up in the Premier League. The English midfielder, who is only 25-years-old plays as a defender but can play as a midfielder as well, Ward had the third highest tackles in the Premier League last season. The Englishman would be a great option to play in the centre of defence at any club but his versatility of playing as a right back, defensive midfielder or a centre-back makes him a great choice for a top 4 club.
