Kieran Trippier
Here’s a player that many probably wouldn’t have expected to see on a list of this ilk at the start of the season. Nevertheless, Kieran Trippier’s creative influence cannot be overlooked.
He has whipped in more crosses into the penalty area than any other player this season – 26 in total, two ore than Tottenham’s Ivan Perisic.
While not the most talented playmaker in the world by any means, Trippier’s ceaseless running down the right flank has helped to create no end of chances for his teammates.
