9. Graziano Pelle – Southampton
In 9th is Southampton’s new signing Graziano Pelle.
The 29 year old joined the Premier League club in the Summer transfer window for a fee of ₤8 million from Dutch side Feyenoord.
To many fans, the Italian was an unknown figure, but with Ronald Koeman at the helm, he knew all about the striker from his Dutch days and a return of 12 goals in his debut season in England is mighty impressive.
The Saints were heavily predicted for relegation after their Summer exodus of stars, but Pelle and other new-faces fired Koeman’s men to the European spaces.
