There's 4 stand out players for me, for different reasons.
Defoe
Dembele
Sandro
Vertonghen
Defoe for his hard work and professional attitude over the last year which is now paying off for him. He having a superb season and has proven a lot of us wrong regarding the lone striker situation.
Dembele who just oozes class and has shown how he is the creative catalyst in midfield - he's settled well and given his all in the games he's played.
Sandro for just being an absolute rock when we've needed him the most. He's developing into a world class defensive midfielder.
And vertonghen - for me the MVP. Not only has he switched leagues and country, but for half of this season he's been out of position. His quality has been clear for all to see and he offers us so much diversity. - central, left sided and even attacking. For me, he is the epitome of professional. Never argues with the ref, always focussed and tries his best in every single game for 90 mins. If daws is out, I'd like to see him become our captain. He deserves it. One of the top 3 summer prem buys, IMO.
