Three surprise performers in the Premier League this season

This
season
has
been
no
exception
as
we
have
seen
some
players
performing
much
beyond
expectations.
Here,
we
will
take
a
look
at
three
players
who
have
surprised
us
in
good
ways
this
season.

Demarai
Gray
–
Everton

Everton
signed
Demarai
Gray
from
Bundesliga
side
Bayer
Leverkusen
for
a
fee
of
just
£1.7
million
and
it
is
fair
to
say
that
expectations
were
not
too
high
from
him.
However,
the
former
Leicester
City
winger
has
made
a
strong
mark
for
himself
following
his
comeback
to
the
Premier
League.

The
25-year-old
has
three
goals
and
two
assists
in
11
games
for
the
Toffees
in
the
Premier
League
this
season
but
his
figures
do
not
truly
reflect
how
important
he
has
been
in
Rafael
Benitez’s
setup
at
Goodison
Park.

Emile
Smith
Rowe
–
Arsenal

Emile
Smith
Rowe
made
a
solid
impression
for
himself
during
the
closing
stages
of
the
last
season
and
the
Arsenal
fans
were
rightly
excited
with
his
progress.
However,
the
21-year-old
has
taken
his
game
to
a
whole
another
level
this
season
and
has
arguably
been
the
best
player
for
Mikel
Arteta’s
side.

Arsenal
have
done
well
to
climb
up
to
fifth
place
in
the
table
following
a
dismal
start
to
the
season
and
Smith
Rowe’s
form
has
been
crucial
behind
that.
He
has
four
goals
and
two
assists
in
11
games
this
campaign
and
has
deservedly
been
called
up
by
Gareth
Southgate
for
the
England
side.

Conor
Gallagher
–
Crystal
Palace/Chelsea

Chelsea
have
lost
some
supremely
talented
footballers
down
the
years
as
they
failed
to
make
way
for
them
into
their
starting
XI
and
frustrated
them
by
shipping
them
out
on
successive
loans.
And,
they
must
ensure
that
Conor
Gallagher
must
not
follow
the
same
path.
The
21-year-old
midfielder
passed
every
test
given
to
him
with
flying
colours
so
far
during
his
previous
loan
spells
but
this
time
out,
he
seems
to
have
reached
the
next
level.
The
Englishman
has
arguably
been
the
player
of
the
season
for
the
Eagles
this
campaign
with
four
goals
and
two
assists
from
midfield
and
has
been
a
key
reason
why
Patrick
Vieira’s
side
have
exceeded
expectations.
