The 2015/16 Premier League has seen the remarkable rise of many players and below are the 10 most notable faces.

10 gương mặt lột xác hoàn toàn tại Ngoại hạng Anh 2015/16

1. Dejan Lovren (Liverpool)

Joining Liverpool from Southampton in the summer of 2014 for £20 million, the Croatian defender lacked confidence and composure. This season, Lovren has learned from his mistakes and shown remarkable progress. He and Mamadou Sakho have created a solid defensive wall in the Kop's backline. However, despite playing quite well, Lovren was not named in the Croatian national team's squad for EURO 2016.

2. Jack Butland (Stoke)

Butland đã cho thấy sự trưởng thành vượt bậc trong màu áo Stoke

Butland has shown remarkable maturity in a Stoke shirt.

Butland is one of the most promising young goalkeepers in English football. Since October last year, the 23-year-old goalkeeper has kept 10/24 clean sheets for Stoke, in which he was voted the best player twice in the confrontations with West Ham and Newcastle. Unfortunately, when he was in top form, Butland suddenly suffered a serious ankle injury in England's friendly match with Germany last March. With this injury, he not only had to sit out the rest of the season but also missed EURO 2016. However, in the future, Butland will certainly be the number 1 hope in the goal of the "Three Lions".

3. Chris Smalling (Man United)

While MU had a season to forget, Smalling's performance brought much hope. The former Fulham defender always kept the stability and solidity of the Red Devils' defense. His excellence explained why MU was the team that conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League in 2015/16 with 35 goals (equal to Tottenham).

4. Riyad Mahrez (Leicester)

Mahrez giờ đây đã là một ngôi sao lớn của Ngoại hạng Anh

Mahrez is now a big star of the Premier League

Mahrez had an incredible season with Leicester when he helped the "Foxes" win the 2015/16 Premier League for the first time in the club's history. Simply put, the Algerian midfielder reached another level, from dribbling skills, scoring goals... At the end of the season, he scored a total of 17 goals and had 10 assists. With such a top performance, it was no surprise that Mahrez won the PFA Player of the Year award.

5. Eric Dier (Tottenham)

Since being promoted to midfield by Mauricio Pochettino, Dier has made incredible progress. Playing in the defensive midfield position, the 22-year-old is like a steel shield in front of Spurs' back four. His solid and disciplined play has gradually made him an indispensable factor in the Tottenham squad.

6. Danny Drinkwater (Leicester)

Drinkwater đóng vai trò quan trọng trong thành công của Leicester mùa này

Drinkwater has played a key role in Leicester's success this season.

After a relegation battle in the 2014/15 season, Drinkwater has transformed himself with Leicester. His tenacious style of play, good tackling and passing ability have made him a key player in Claudio Ranieri’s squad. His excellence has been rewarded with a place in England’s provisional squad for the upcoming EURO 2016.

7. Erik Lamela (Tottenham)

On the last day of the summer transfer window last year, Lamela almost joined Marseille on loan, but Pochettino kept him. The reason was that Spurs "failed" to sign striker Saido Berahino from West Brom. However, if he had the decision, coach Pochettino would never want to sell his compatriot star because he is a player with excellent performance. With 5 goals and 9 assists this season, Lamela promises to explode even more next season.

8. Jamie Vardy (Leicester)

Vardy là cây săn bàn số 1 của Leicester

Vardy is Leicester's number 1 goalscorer.

Perhaps there is no need to say too much about the name Vardy. He is considered the soul of Leicester in the Premier League this season. Speed ​​and good finishing ability are the strengths of the 29-year-old player. Although Harry Kane (Tottenham) took away the Golden Boot title with 25 goals (Vardy had 1 goal less), the Leicester striker still had a perfect season with a miraculous Premier League championship. More importantly, Vardy will be the hope of the England team at EURO 2016.

9. Nacho Monreal (Arsenal)

From being just a backup for Kieran Gibbs at left-back, Monreal has gradually proven himself and taken the English player's place. Despite being 30 years old, Monreal still attacks and defends rhythmically and is an indispensable stopper for Arsenal.

10. Wes Morgan (Leicester)

Morgan đã hoàn toàn lột xác ở mùa giải này

Morgan has completely transformed this season.

Morgan was one of the people who contributed to Leicester conceding 55 goals last season, but everything has changed dramatically. The "Foxes" captain and centre-back has played explosively and has not missed a single minute for the King Power team this season, helping the new champions concede only 36 goals, the second best record in the league. Not only does he defend well, Morgan also scores extremely important goals, typically 2 goals against Southampton in round 32 and MU in round 36.
