For fans who are obsessed with all things soccer, they generally want to watch the beautiful game’s most amazing players in action. With many of the sport’s top professionals housed in the English Premier League, it’s a competition that garners plenty of attention. But who are the most entertaining players to watch this season?
Understandably, fans worldwide tune in to the action to watch these natural talents produce game-changing moments. In the same way, NBA fans enjoy seeing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the court, and sports lovers who bet on the NFL can’t resist witnessing Patrick Mahomes’ influence in big games; people with a penchant for soccer have some fantastic players to watch in English football’s top competition. In fact, given the financial muscle of Premier League clubs, the competition is packed full of eye-catching stars.
With the new Premier League season promising to provide yet another feast of football for fans to get stuck into, below is a brief lowdown on five of the league’s most entertaining players to watch.
Mohamed Salah – Liverpool
After committing his immediate future to the club, Mohamed Salah looks destined to create even more special memories with Liverpool. The Egyptian star was in scintillating form for most of last season, capping off a special title-winning campaign by winning the Premier League Golden Boot, alongside breaking the record for the most combined goals and assists in a 38-game season. If Liverpool is to retain their Premier League title this season, Mohamed Salah will have almost certainly played a key part in it. His new teammate, Florian Wirtz, is also worth watching.
Matheus Cunha – Manchester United
Manchester United isn’t the formidable force it once was, but the Red Devils could return to the top of the tree soon if they continue to snap up highly talented players like Matheus Cunha. The former Wolves player can produce something out of nothing, as seen during his time in Wolverhampton, where he scored 31 goals in 76 games in all competitions after joining Atletico Madrid. Cunha now has an even bigger platform to impress at Manchester United, and he’s a player who is more than capable of elevating United’s attack.
Cole Palmer – Chelsea
Cole Palmer isn’t the sharpest tool in the box when he’s interviewed after big games, but his intelligence on the pitch is undeniable. While he didn’t reach the same heights as the previous season last campaign, Palmer is still Chelsea’s leading man, capable of turning it on against any opponent. If Chelsea is to mount a title charge this season and build on their Club World Cup triumph, then Palmer will almost certainly need to be at his best.
Bukayo Saka – Arsenal
Despite experiencing a stop-start campaign last season, Bukayo Saka will be keen to hit the ground running this time. A firm fan favourite, the England star is constantly changing games for the Gunners, with his attacking flair and all-around creativity making him a key cog in the Gunners’ wheel. If he remains injury-free this season, Bukayo Saka could quite easily fire Arsenal to glory.
Eberechi Eze – Crystal Palace
A player Crystal Palace is desperate to keep hold of, Eberechi Eze, is still at the club at the time of writing. However, given his immense ability, bigger clubs are circling. The former QPR man is a natural entertainer, and his dribbling ability and skill make him a fantastic player to watch. A professional destined for bigger things, Eberechi Eze loves playing football.
