Gerard Deulofeu

The Spaniard has really hit some form this season and has had one of his best campaigns to date because of that.

He currently has 11 goals and five assists in all competitions and netted a brace against Huddersfield on Saturday.

Perhaps the most memorable moment from Deulofeu’s season though was the first goal of two he score in the FA Cup semi-final recently; a delicate chip right into the top corner to leave spectators stunned.

After starting out as a winger in wide positions, Saints will need to be aware of his new and more effective role as a central.
